The Groupement AMPERE started in
1951 in France. It was incorporated as a
European organisation in Switzerland in
1956. Today it is the largest organization
in Europe dedicated to promoting
Magnetic Resonance in Physics,
Chemistry and related fields.

AMPERE
Atomes et Molécules Par Études Radio-Électriques
Se Connaître, S‘Entendre, S‘Entraider
The Groupement AMPERE is a European 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. Although the roots and the basic activities are in Europe, members can be from any part
of the world.
The Groupement AMPERE was established in 1951 in France and in 1956 became a European society with the
purpose of informing and coordinating different 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.
