Nordic Rheology Society

Rheology is defined as the science of the deformation and flow of matter, which means that rheology in some form enters almost every study of material properties. In the Nordic countries, rheological measurements have become standard techniques in both industrial and academic research. The Nordic Rheology Society has been formed as a meeting ground for engineers, physicists, chemists and biologists engaged in rheology in industry and academia.

🗓️ When: 29 September, 2025, 09:00-17:00
📍 Where: LINXS (The Loop, Rydbergs torg 4, 224 84)
👨‍🏫 Organisers: NanoLund/RheoMAXESS theme at LINXS

This workshop will cover neutron and synchrotron X-ray techniques to probe soft matter, including small angle scattering, reflectivity and imaging. We will describe sample environments that allow both static measurements and time-resolved data collection, including combined measurements enabling simultaneous data collection with techniques such as rheology, dynamic mechanical analysis, polarised light imaging and flow in microchannels.

In the afternoon data analysis session, we will present typical analysis software and allow participants to try data fitting with their own, or supplied data (see survey during registration)

For the first time ever, the Nordic Rheology Conference was held outside the Nordic countries. This was due to joining forces with the Deutsche Rheologische Gesellschaft (DRG), which resulted in a joint conference of our two societies in Berlin, Germany!

Around 100 delegates from academia, industry and governmental institutions joined conference and its inspiring talks, interactive poster session and exhibition.

Highlights were without a doubt the keynote lecture by Maria Charalambides on enabling tools for design of better, healthier and tastier food products, as well as the two NRS award lectures presented by Mats Stading and Julie Frost Dahl. Not to forgot the Industry-Academia Workshop.

We would very much like to thank our sponsors and exhibitors for supporting the conference: Anton Paar, Tetra Pak, Centre for Industrial Rheology, GÖTTFERT Werkstoff-Prüfmaschinen GmbH, OLEINITEC NORDIC AB, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Incipientus Ultrasound Flow Technologies AB, NETZSCH Analyzing & Testing, and TA Instruments.

The Nordic Rheology Conference 2026 will be held in Lund, Sweden, with a special focus on scattering techniques.

We are happy to share that at the last NRS General Meeting on June 11, three new members were elected to the board of the Nordic Rheology Society!

Kasra Amini will now serve as the treasurer of the society and take care of all our finances.

Juho Pokki and Mari Niemelä have been elected as Finnish representative and deputy Finnish representative to strengthen the rheology community in Finland.

A warm welcome to Kasra, Juho and Mari and cheers to a fruitful collaboration!
