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

Carl Klason Rheology Awardee 2026: Mats Larsson
We are extremely pleased to announce Mats Larsson as the recipient of the 2026 Carl Klason Rheology Award. The announcement was made by the NRS President Olli-Ville Laukkanen at the RheoMAXESS/AIDA workshop at LINXS - Institute of advanced Neutron and X-ray Science.

Award Citation: "For pioneering contributions to rheological research and instrumentation that have bridged academic research and industrial application, and for his enduring leadership in advancing and promoting rheology in the Nordic countries through innovation, education and collaboration."

Mats is one of the most well-known faces in the Nordic rheology community, having worked in the field of rheology since early 1980s. He is the first author of the most cited paper ever published in the Annual Transactions of the Nordic Rheology Society (currently 285 citations), titled "Suspension stability; why particle size, zeta potential and rheology are important". Mats has been heavily involved in the development of novel rheological measurement techniques over the decades, and he has also made an exceptional effort in popularizing rheology in the Nordic countries and beyond.

Mats is invited to give an award lecture at the Nordic Rheology Conference & Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials Conference 2026 in Lund in August.

Let's congratulate Mats for this great accolade! 👏
