Last May, the Benelux Chapter of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) was formed. On Wednesday December 10, 2008 the first annual meeting of the Chapter will be held in the Antwerpen Zoo, conveniently located next to the Central Railway Station of Antwerp. You can register now [registration closed]. Membership of the Benelux Chapter for 2009 is automatically included in the registration fee. Additionally, you can register for a luxurious dinner following the meeting. We encourage you to register as soon as possible as capacity for both the meeting and dinner is limited.

One of the aims of this meeting is to give junior researchers the opportunity to present their work to a diverse and expert audience, all working in Belgium, The Netherlands or Luxembourg. Therefore, young researchers will be selected to present their work in the oral sessions, whereas senior researchers will be given the opportunity to present their work during the poster session.
