Nordic Rheology Awards

NRS may present two awards a year and all members of NRS are encouraged to propose nominees. The Carl Klason Rheology Award and the Young Rheologists Rheology Award are given to persons active in the Nordic countries.

The Carl Klason Rheology Award amounting to 1000 Euro may be given to a person who either

  • has made outstanding contributions to the basic understanding of rheological phenomena or to the application of rheology, or
  • has made outstanding contributions to the progress of rheology in one or more of the Nordic countries.

The Young Rheologists Rheology Award with 500 Euro may be given to a young person who has made outstanding work in basic or applied rheology at the graduate or postgraduate level.

The awardees are selected from the nominations by the Award Committee which consists of Annika Sahlström, Kurt Ingar Draget, Ole Hassager and Jón Elvar Wallevik. A letter describing the nominee and a motivation can be sent to the NRS president before January 15 every year or when separately announced.

 

 

  HIGHLIGHTS
RheoMAXESS/AIDA workshop: Where Users Meet Techniques
Members of the rheology community, as well as anyone interested in combined rheological methods, are warmly invited to participate in the upcoming workshop:

'Where users meet techniques'

to be held on 4–6 February 2026 at LINXS – Institute for Advanced Neutron and X-ray Science, Lund (Sweden), with online participation available for most sessions.

This joint RheoMAXESS–AIDA* workshop focuses on advanced rheological testing combined with synchrotron X-ray and neutron scattering, with particular emphasis on experimental opportunities at the MAX IV synchrotron facility and the European Spallation Source (ESS). The programme includes an overview of soft-matter-focused beamlines at MAX IV and ESS, rheology-related experiments, imaging and data-analysis workflows, case studies, and general presentations spanning soft matter, materials and processing, food, and bio/biomedical systems.

Further details and registration information can be found at https://indico.linxs.lu.se/event/642/

For general questions, please contact Prof. Roland Kádár at roland.kadar@chalmers.se.
