Nordic Rheology & MTDM Conference
Lund, August 26-28, 2026

The Nordic Rheology Conference (NRC) and the Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials (MTDM) Conference join in Lund, Sweden, as one conference bringing together researchers and industry professionals, covering all aspects of rheology and the mechanics of time-dependent materials.
We welcome contributions ranging from fundamental studies to industrial case studies, spanning experimental, modeling, and application-oriented work. Topics include rheology with applications in polymers, foods, coatings, paper, fibers, and pharmaceuticals, as well as time-dependent phenomena such as frequency or strain rate sensitivity, fatigue, creep, relaxation, etc. Materials of interest include, for example, polymers and composites, soft matter, meta-materials, 3D-printed structures, living tissues, and rubber.
The program will feature a special emphasis on coupling rheology with advanced X-ray and neutron techniques, while continuing to embrace the broad range of topics in rheology and time-dependent material behavior.

The venue for the conference is right between the X-ray synchrotron MAX IV and the neutron facility ESS in Lund, Sweden, at The Loop in Science Village, Lund. The lecture halls are located around a central foyer where exhibitors will present the latest rheology instrumentation, where posters will be displayed and lunches and coffee will be served.
