The mission of the NJ-ACS NMR TG is to bring together scientists who use nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) as a research tool from academia and industry, students of NMR, as well as vendors of NMR-related products. It organizes monthly meetings that consist of a social hour, a buffet dinner, followed by a presentation by an invited speaker.
From time to time, the NMR Topical Group hosts scientific symposia on topics related to nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). These events serve as excellent venues for networking within the local scientific community. Also, through its activities, the NMR Topical Group raises public awareness of the American Chemical Society (ACS) and its service to the scientific community.
The NMR Spectroscopy Topical Group operates under the auspices of the North Jersey Section of the American Chemical Society (NJ-ACS), which is a non-profit organization that qualifies for tax exempt status under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service code.
