We would like to announce a
3-day hands-on training on
Pulsed DNP
at the CRMN-Lyon on January 20th-22nd 2026
The training will aim at anyone with basic NMR or DNP knowledge, and interested in learning about the basic theoretical, methodological, and experimental aspects of pulsed DNP. We will propose a series of lectures alternating with hands-on practical experiments in the laboratory.
Pre-registration
As the number of seats will be limited, we kindly ask you to pre-register well in advance at the following address:
https://framaforms.org/pre-registration-pulsed-dnp-training-crmn-lyon-20-22-january-2026-1759851670
The number of participants will be limited to 15.
Subscription fees are 200€ (they are not required at this pre-registration stage, and will be asked in November in the registration process)
