The ESR Group was
founded in 1968 as a forum
within the Chemical Society for scientists to share, disseminate and promote knowledge
about
ESR-EPR-EMR
phenomena. In 1980 the Chemical Society and the Royal Institute of Chemistry,
together with the Faraday Society and the Society for Analytical Chemistry were
amalgamated
to become the Royal Society of Chemistry, so that we became a special interest group
of the RSC. The RSC now has over 70 such
SIGs.
We are also associated with the EFEPR, the
European Federation of EPR Groups
The main aim of the ESR Group is to promote innovation, share and advance knowledge, and to
encourage applications of ESR in chemistry and a broad range of sciences and their applications. These aims are achieved with the aid of an annual international meeting, often with subsequent publication of research
presented in a respected international journal. At the meetings, we organise prizes to highlight excellence
in magnetic resonance research
(the Bruker Lecture)
and to encourage promising younger
scientists starting in their careers
(the JEOL Student Lectures)
