Last week, the Erwin L. Hahn Institute for MRI had the pleasure of welcoming the newly elected chancellor of the University of Duisburg-Essen, Ulf Richter, for the first time. The purpose of the visit was to exchange insights on the institute's current research activities and technological advancements.

Ulf Richter was received by the institute’s directors, Harald H. Quick and David Norris, as well as the managing director, Franziska Günther. Following a presentation of the ELHs and the scientific work conducted on and with the 7 Tesla MAGNETOM Terra, which the chancellor showed great interest in, the visit concluded with a trip to the MRI system, where Mr. Richter was able to "feel" the magnetic field himself using an aluminum plate.

We thank the chancellor for his pleasant visit!
