The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) announces the 2011 NHMFL Users Committee Meeting to be held October 14 through 15, 2011 at the Magnet Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida.

The Magnet Lab's Users Committee represents the NHMFL's broad, multidisciplinary user community and advises the lab's leadership on all issues affecting users of our facilities. The by-laws of the committee approved during the 2010 annual meeting describe the group's functions, structure, membership, operations and other matters.

The only facility of its kind in the United States, the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (less formally known as the Magnet Lab) is the largest and highest-powered magnet laboratory in the world and is head-quartered in a sprawling 370,000-square-foot complex near Florida State University in Tallahassee. The lab also includes sites at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico and the University of Florida in Gainesville. Together these three institutions operate the lab, collaborating in a unique, interdisciplinary way to advance basic science, engineering and technology in the 21st century.
