The European Magnetic Resonance Forum, for short EMRF, was founded as "European Workshop on Magnetic Resonance in Medicine" in 1982 and started its activities in 1983. It was created as an open institution to organize continuing education meetings on magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy in medicine. In 1991, the Workshop was incorporated into the newly created EMRF.

This opened the door to a more intensive interdisciplinary exchange in addition to the medical applications of magnetic resonance. In the statutes of the EMRF its mission is defined as follows:

"The European Magnetic Resonance Forum was created to promote continuing education, exchange of information, research, development, and application in the field of magnetic resonance in medicine, in neighboring disciplines, and the natural and computer sciences. It also supports applications of this technology for the benefit of the environment and development of needy areas of the world."

The EMRF is no membership society. Its efforts complement such societies. It is independent of any commercial influence. EMRF is a branch of TRTF, The Round Table Foundation, a nonprofit organization.
