The Groupement AMPERE
The Groupement AMPERE (Atomes et Molécules Par Études Radio-Électriques)
is an association of scientists active in the fields of Magnetic Resonances,
Optics, Dielectrics, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, as well as in the development
of the related methodologies and technologies.
The society started in France 1951 and was incorporated as a European
organisation in Switzerland in 1956.
Although the roots and the basic activities are in Europe, members are from
all over the world.
Today it is the largest organization in Europe dedicated to promoting
Magnetic Resonance in Physics, Chemistry and related fields.
Statutes
The organization of the Groupement AMPERE is described in the
Statutes
of the society.
Data Protection
Based on Article 13 of the Federal Constitution and the provisions of federal
data protection legislation, everyone has the right to the protection of
their privacy, as well as to protection from misuse of their personal data.

History
The Groupement AMPERE was established with the purpose of informing and
coordinating different European Laboratories and, at the same time helping the
scientists in difficult economical or political post-war conditions. The motto
proposed by it’s founder Prof. René Freymann is still valid today;
Se Connaître, S’Entendre, S’Entraider
i.e. to get to know each other, to listen to each other, to aid one another,
for all those who engage in the study of Atomes et Molécules Par Études
Radio-Electriques, which makes up the acronym AMPERE. During the coldest
periods of European politics, the Groupement AMPERE played a key role in
maintaining an efficient scientific and human exchange between western and
eastern European countries.
The mission of the association is to contribute to the progress of Radio
Spectroscopy, Magnetic Resonance and Related Phenomena by means of congresses
and specialized "colloques", symposia, summer institutes, schools and workshops,
by means of a bulletin acting as a link between the members, and by means of
prizes that honor outstanding contributions to the progress of the fields.
Today the Groupement AMPERE maintains its high standards as the umbrella
organization for numerous magnetic resonance activities in Europe. Many of
them continue in their own traditions. The Groupement AMPERE maintains and
expands services for the whole community engaged in Magnetic Resonance and
Related Phenomena in Europe and worldwide. It aims at accommodating new
developments in new areas which are progressively opened by the scientific
evolution.
