NMR spectroscopy is among the most important analytical methods with unbeaten impact on important areas in Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Medicine. It is an expert technology where quality of both instrumentation and methodological skills are important to ensure best utilization of the technology. NMR spectroscopy is a major analytical and spectroscopic technique with a wide range of applications. There are two major areas of NMR spectroscopy, namely liquid-state NMR and solidstate NMR spectroscopy, with differing levels of technology transfer from the expert level to the user level. The NMR spectroscopic groups in Germany are organized within a group in the GDCh (Fachgruppe Magnetische Resonanz der Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker). It is the overall aim of the proposal to establish a network of German NMR centers in Universities and non-University institutes together with representatives from industries and manufacturers and from major German funding bodies to exploit at best the broad application envelope of NMR spectroscopy.
