Introductory Workshop on the Theory and Practice of EPR Spectroscopy
The next Workshop will be held in Manchester from the 19th to the 23rd January 2026
EPR NRF workshop
Not sure if/how Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) can assist your research ? This residential introductory workshop is designed for both novice and experienced researchers, who wish to expand their knowledge and gain practical experience in EPR spectroscopy. Experienced staff from the EPSRC National Research Facility for EPR Spectroscopy will guide you through the fundamental principles and applications of Continuous Wave (CW) EPR spectroscopy, as well as data analysis, and interpretation. We also provide a brief overview and demonstration of advanced pulsed EPR techniques.
The workshop structure will be a balance of 50% lectures and 50% hands-on practical sessions. During the workshop you will have the opportunity to operate state-of-the-art EPR instruments and perform a variety of experiments. You will also learn about the latest developments in EPR instrumentation, measurement techniques, and applications.
Due to the hands on nature of the Workshop numbers are limited to 10 students.
When: 19 – 23 January, 2026 (usually held bi-annually)
Where: EPSRC National Research Facility for EPR Spectroscopy, Department of Chemistry/Photon Science Institute, The University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9PL
Lecturers: Prof. David Collison, Prof. Eric McInnes, Dr Alice Bowen
Instructors: Dr Floriana Tuna, Dr Murali Shanmugam, Mr Adam Brookfield
Cost: Free (to students and academics)

The 10th EFEPR Summer School
We are proud to have recently hosted the 10th EFEPR Summer School which took place in Manchester (UK) from Sunday 31 August – Saturday 6 September 2025.
We hosted over 130 budding EPR spectroscopists, with the lectures, practicals / tutorials and accommodation held at various locations within The University of Manchester. The School was delivered by the local EPR team and over 20 invited experts.
This event proved a fantastic opportunity to learn from EPR experts from across Europe and beyond, to make contacts and friends. The school included lectures on theory and applications, and a variety of hands-on practical sessions, demonstrations, tutorials. Attendees were also able to present their own projects in daily poster sessions. The event also included social events such as the welcome reception and a closing banquet alongside a free evening, allowing the attendees to explore the sites of Manchester.
The Conference Organisers would like to thank all of the Students, Lecturers, Sponsors and Local Helpers that enabled the successful running of this event.
