About the Nordic Rheology Society

The Nordic Rheology Society engages people interested in rheology in the Nordic countries.

Vision

To promote and propagate rheology at all levels throughout the Nordic Countries.

Mission

To promote and propagate rheology at all levels by building a broad forum where academia and industry, in their applicational and theoretical guises can meet, share and discuss ideas to their mutual benefit.

Rheology

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.

Member services

  • The annual NRC, the Nordic Rheology Conference features invited speakers of international standing as well as sessions on general rheology. Contributing papers are published in the Annual Transactions of the NRS which is distributed to the members. The NRC also offers an exhibition of rheological equipment, poster display and rheology courses which makes it the leading meeting place for industry and academia in the Nordic countries.
  • Access to the member pages on this web site including PDF-articles from the NRS Annual Transaction, and the member directory.
  • Permission to post News on the NRS web site.
  • Information about local rheology events.
  HIGHLIGHTS
Prof. Mats Stading receives the Karl Clason Rheology Award 2025
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!
