And that's a wrap on the 2025 Erwin L. Hahn Lecture & Workshop! We thank our wonderful speakers, the UDE and RU rectors, the attendees as well as the Oktogon staff and everyone who helped out today. See you all next year! #HahnLecture25

And with that, we are already at the final speaker of the 2025 Erwin L. Hahn Lecture & Workshop: Sebastian Schmitter from PTB discusses "Towards clinical body imaging at UHF". #HahnLecture25

Now on stage: Armin Nagel from the University Erlangen-Nürnberg speaks about "Combined 23Na and 1H MRI of the human body at 7 Tesla". #HahnLecture25

CORRECTION: That is of course the BODY session.

Up now: Jeanine Prompers from Maastricht University talks about "Combined application of 3D 2H and 31P metabolic imaging in the body at 7T". #HahnLecture25

After a small coffee break, we're back with the BRAIN session. First speaker is ELH-PI Tom Scheenen from @radboudumc.bsky.social talking about: "MRI of the abdomen at ultra-high field". #HahnLecture25.

Watch on our website: hahn-institute.de/de/info/hahn...

Last but certainly not least in this session: Jennifer Faber from the University of Bonn discusses "From artifact to insight: Imaging the infratentorial structures with whole-brain ultra-high field MRI in neurodegenerative ataxias". #HahnLecture25

Speaking now: ELH-PI Dagmar Timmann from the University Medicine Essen talks on "Functional MRI of the human cerebellum". #HahnLecture25

Wietske van der Zwaag from the Spinoza Centre for Neuroimaging speaks about"Layer-MRI in the human cerebellum". #HahnLecture25

Up now: Birte Forstmann from the University of Amsterdam talks about "Joint modeling of deep brain's form and function". #hahnlecture25 You can watch the sessions live here: hahn-institute.de/de/info/hahn...

It's an absolute honour to have Larry Wald at the #HahnLecture25. Watch his talk on "MR technology; from elegant physics to elegant engineering and back again" on our website live: hahn-institute.de/de/info/hahn...

Opening Session: ELH-Scientific Director David Norris welccomes the attendees, Radboud University's Rector Magnificus José Sanders and UDE rector Barbara Albert congratulate the ELH on its 20th anniversary, ELH Administrative Director Harald Quick speaks on 20 years of ELH. #hahnlecture25
