14th Conference on Fast Field Cycling NMR Relaxometry

Early bird registration is open until February 28. The call for abstracts is open until April 30 on the dedicated platform.

DIM MaTerRE sponsors the 14th Conference on Fast Field Cycling NMR Relaxometry (FFC), which will take place from June 16 to 19, 2026, at the Cordeliers Campus (Paris, 75006). June 15 will be devoted to demonstrations and tests on various NMR relaxometers and benchtop NMR spectrometers. This conference aims to open up new perspectives beyond relaxation measurements using the fast field cycling technique. It will combine and compare knowledge on:

• Field Cycling NMR
• Fast Field Cycling NMR relaxometry
• Time domain low field NMR relaxometry
•  Fast field cycling MRI
• Ultra-low field MRI
• Statistical Physics applied to transport phenomena at the mesoscale

The topics developed during FFC NMR relaxometry conference, also includes applications of techniques in material science (polymer, building staff, colloidal suspensions,…), biology (proteins, contrast agent, biological tissue, medicine,…), food (characterization, fraud control,…), energy (electrolytes, battery, oil, catalysis, fuel cell,…), cultural heritage (paint, 3D porous art works, …), environment (clay deposit, soil,…) and more.
