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.

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.

Both NRS Awards were handed over at the joint Nordic Rheology Conference and DRG Symposium 2025.

The Carl Klason Rheology Award was given to Prof. Mats Stading from RISE and Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden. His award lecture was entitled From Fluid to Solid Research and contained a thorough overview of Mats' outstanding work he performed throughout his career.

The NRS Young Rheologist Award was given to Julie Frost Dahl, who conducted her PhD research Measure, Understand, and Predict Structure Formation in Plant-Based Anisotropic Foods at Aarhus University in Denmark.

Mats and Julie were both present at the conference to receive their awards. Congratulations to both of you!
