Dear
Colleagues,
The University of Ottawa and the National Research Council Canada (NRC) invite
you to take part in the Official Opening of the National Ultrahigh-Field NMR
Facility for Solids and the NRC Magnetic Resonance Facility in Ottawa on June
1st, 2006.
Both NMR Facilities are located in the newly renovated W.G. Schneider Building,
named after former NRC president Dr.
William G. Schneider (photo), famous for his pioneering work in high-resolution
NMR. Dr. Schneider will officiate the Grand Opening Ceremony which, coincidently,
will be held on his 91st birthday! Other dignitaries are also scheduled to
attend.
The Opening Ceremony will be followed by the Inaugural Solid State NMR Workshop, held as a joint session with XeMat-III International Symposium on Xe NMR of Materials. M-40, NRC, 1200 Montreal road
