We are excited to announce that this year's winner of the NRS Young Rheologist Award is Julie Frost Dahl.

The Young Rheologist Award is given to a young person, who has made outstanding work in basic or applied rheology at the graduate or postgraduate level.

Julie has recently completed her PhD at Aarhus University, Denmark under the supervision of Milena Corredig. In her research, she developed strategies for characterising and predicting anisotropic food structures, which is of great relevance for novel foods such as meat analogues. She now works as a scientist at IFF in Brabrand, Denmark.

Julie will deliver her award lecture "Measure, understand, and predict structure formation in plant-based anisotropic foods – using rheology" at the joint Nordic Rheology Conference & DRG Symposium 2025 in Berlin: https://nordicrheologysociety.org/Home/Nrc

Congratulations for this great and well-deserved achievement, Julie!

We are happy to announce that Prof. Mats Stading is this year's recipient of the Karl Clason Rheolog

We are happy to announce that Prof. Mats Stading is this year's recipient of the Karl Clason Rheology Award!

This award is given to a person who has made outstanding contributions to the basic understanding of rheological phenomena and/or the application of rheology.

Professor Mats Stading has his main research activities at RISE Research Institutes of Sweden and is also Adjunct Professor at Industrial and Materials Science at Chalmers University of Technology, both located in Gothenburg, Sweden. He has an MSc degree in Engineering Physics and has then widened his scope with a PhD in biophysics and a post-doc in tissue engineering at MIT. Since then, he is back in Gothenburg for positions at Chalmers and RISE.

Professor Stading is internationally active leading research projects in Europe, Africa and Asia. Within rheology, he has been active in the Nordic Rheology Society board since the start of the Society and was also President and board member of the European Society of Rheology.

His research involves rheology applied to biopolymer fluids, gels and melts. Current hot topics include plant protein melts for meat replacement and foods with safe swallowing for seniors.

Professor Stading will present his award lecture "From fluid to solid research" at the joint Nordic Rheology Conference and DRG Symposium in Berlin in June 2025: https://nordicrheologysociety.org/Home/Nrc

Congratulations to Prof. Mats Stading for this fantastic achievement!

The Nordic Rheology Conference & DRG Symposium 2025 will take place in Berlin on June 10-12, 2025. It will feature an industry-academia workshop that aims to:
👉 Create a stronger connection between academia and industry
👉 Enhance dialogue between academic and industrial researchers at NRS and DRG events
👉 Help to identify industrially relevant research questions that academic researchers may address and work on

The workshop is planned to include small-group discussions between academic and industrial researchers to brainstorm ideas on defined questions/challenges, as well as a collective discussion to gather practical ideas for increased academia-industry collaboration in the future.

The industry workshop will be organized in one of the parallel sessions during the conference, and it is open to all conference participants. No separate registration is needed.

If you have questions or specific wishes related to the industry workshop, please do not hesitate to contact the workshop organizers Gustaf Mårtensson, Dragana Arlov, Florian Nettesheim and Olli-Ville Laukkanen.

More information on the contents of the workshop will be updated on the conference website during the coming months.
