Nordic Rheology & MTDM Conference
Lund, August 26-28, 2026

The 35th Nordic Rheology Conference (NRC) and 14th International Conference on Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials (MTDM) Conference join in Lund, Sweden, as one conference bringing together researchers and industry professionals, covering all aspects of rheology and the mechanics of time-dependent materials.
We welcome contributions ranging from fundamental studies to industrial case studies, spanning experimental, modeling, and application-oriented work. Topics include rheology with applications in polymers, foods, coatings, paper, fibers, and pharmaceuticals, as well as time-dependent phenomena such as frequency or strain rate sensitivity, fatigue, creep, relaxation, etc. Materials of interest include, for example, polymers and composites, soft matter, meta-materials, 3D-printed structures, living tissues, and rubber.
The program will feature a special emphasis on coupling rheology with advanced X-ray and neutron techniques, while continuing to embrace the broad range of topics in rheology and time-dependent material behavior.

The venue for the conference is right between the X-ray synchrotron MAX IV and the neutron facility ESS in Lund, Sweden, at The Loop in Science Village, Lund. The lecture halls are located around a central foyer where exhibitors will present the latest rheology instrumentation, where posters can be displayed and lunches and coffee will be served.

There will also be poster sessions combined with tours of both MAX IV and ESS.
