We look forward to meeting you in person from April 24th to 26th, 2023, in our Bruker campus in Ettlingen for our next SPR user meeting.

Besides an exciting SPR agenda, you will get the exclusive opportunity to tour our new Bruker campus in Ettlingen – Bruker's Centre of Excellence for magnetic resonance, as well as our optical spectroscopy headquarter and meet with many of our 1000 colleagues calling this campus their home.

The meeting will be in English. For your convenience we have reserved a limited number of rooms in the lovely hotel Watthalden in Ettlingen (details below). Prices are ranging from Euro 105 to Euro 125 including Breakfast. The restaurant features a Biergarten, restaurants and a bar so we hope we can continue to talk SPR ‘after work’! Please register as soon as possible since the hotel has limited capacity.

We are more than excited and hope that you will take part in large numbers.
