The French ESR Application Groupe (GARPE) organized this symposium to promote the use of ESR methods. ESR Spectroscopy is highly sensitive and thespecific techniques derived provide information on the morphological structure of matter and on its pretreatment, information which is not available otherwise. Among the practical applications are investigation of diffusion phenomena, of composite materials, targetting of drugs and detection of irradiated foodstuffs.
