Erwin L. Hahn Lecture
& Workshop
Erwin L. Hahn Institute, Essen / Germany
About the Hahn Lectures
The Erwin L. Hahn Lecture is an annual symposium for everyone with scientific or corporate interest in ultra-high field MRI, usually held in autumn on the historic grounds of the World Heritage Site Zollverein in Essen/Germany.
The Erwin L. Hahn Institute
The Erwin L. Hahn Institute for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (ELH) is a center for research, development and application of ultra-high field magnetic resonance imaging (UHF-MRI), particularly in cognitive neurosciences and clinical diagnostic imaging. The ELH was founded as a central institution of the University of Duisburg-Essen and the Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen in 2005. At the site of the UNESCO World Heritage Zollverein Essen, physicists, engineers, medical scientists and psychologists from the Netherlands and Germany are working hand in hand, which is the basis for the successful leading international research at ELH. Centerpiece of the Erwin L. Hahn Institute is a whole-body ultrahigh field (UHF) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner operating at a magnetic field strength of 7 Tesla.
Upcoming Lecture
The upcoming Erwin L. Hahn Lecture is going to take place on October 29, 2025.

Impressions
Established in 2007, the Hahn Lectures continuously host some of the most notable members of the UHF MRI community.
Students, professors, doctors and members of the industry alike are invited and encouraged to join us at the annual Hahn Lecture.
In 2017, the Oktogon set the scene for the Hahn Lecture.
Seating is limited - so register now!
The World Heritage Site Zollverein has been the home of the Erwin L. Hahn Lecture for more than 10 years.
For its 10th anniversary, the Hahn Lecture moved to the Erich-Brost-Pavillon with its stunning view onto Zollverein.
While the workshop and talks form the main bulk of the programme, there is always plenty of time to catch up with old friends, and for networking.
