We proudly present the Third Annual Meeting of the ISMRM Benelux Chapter. The past conferences held in Antwerp Zoo and the Railway Museum in Utrecht have set very high standards, but we believe we have found a location that will meet all expectations. Bovendonk, a monastery conveniently located in the neighborhood of Roosendaal, will be hosting the ISMRM Benelux 2011. The monastery is built in the Gothic revival style which radiates a peaceful atmosphere.

As well as an attractive venue, we also have an attractive scientific program for researchers, clinicians and companies. From the abstracts submitted we will select young investigators to give oral presentations of their work in various scientific sessions. Throughout the day a full overview of the work performed in the field of MR in medicine will be presented. Poster presentations will be given during lunch, after being playfully introduced by a poster teaser at the end of the morning sessions. Plenty of time will be allocated for networking and socializing during lunch and coffee breaks with the option of continuing over drinks and dinner in the evening.

The Third Annual Meeting of the ISMRM Benelux Chapter held on the 19^th January 2011 at Bovendonk will be an excellent opportunity for you to get acquainted with cutting-edge research and to interact with other people working in the ‘MR in medicine’ field in Benelux.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee 2011,
