The Specialised Group of NMR (GERMN) of the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry (RSEQ) is pleased to announce the XVI Manuel Rico NMR School.
As usual, the School will take place in Jaca (Spain). This edition will be held from 1st to 6th June, 2025.
This well-established bi-annual summer course is aimed at PhD students, postdocs, technical staff of NMR facilities and researchers in general, from academy and industry, interested in deepening their understanding of NMR. The course covers theoretical aspects, state-of-the-art methods and applications in fields as diverse as Molecular Chemistry, Materials, Biology, Medicine, and Pharmaceutical Industry, including solution-state, and solid-state NMR, as well as MRI techniques.
The School counts with a panel of experienced teachers that are recognized scientists in different fields of NMR. Besides its academic value, the School provides a very friendly atmosphere, stimulating discussions and informal interactions between participants and teachers, creating the basis for joint projects and collaborations. We really encourage people who are interested in improving their knowledge in the exciting field of NMR to enroll in the School, which will surely meet their expectations.

The University Residence of Jaca has been the venue for the Manuel Rico NMR School since its origins, also hosting both students and teachers during the course.
This Residence was inaugurated in 1929 to accommodate the Summer Courses of Spanish Language and Culture of the University of Zaragoza. At present, the Summer Courses include both courses directed to the study of Spanish as a foreign language, as well as the university extension focused on social interest topics. Outside the summer period, the Residence is the frequent venue for congresses, colloquia and scientific seminars, and hosts frequent cultural meetings.

Jaca is one of the privileged cities of Aragon for its communications with both sides of the Pyrenees, for its mild and pleasant climate and for its cultural and sporting offers.
We will take advantage of Jaca’s proximity to the Pyrenees to visit and hike through the splendid «Lost Mountain/Ordesa Valley» National Park. In Winter, the most attractive feature is snow sports on the ski slopes of Candanchu, Astun, Panticosa and Formigal.
