  HIGHLIGHTS

Memorable NRC2024 in Stavanger
The 33rd Nordic Rheology Conference gathered 75 rheology enthusiasts in Stavanger on May 29-31, 2024. This was the third time that Nordic Rheology Conference was organized in Stavanger, the previous times being in 1996 and 2007. The conference was a great success with insightful scientific presentations, lively discussions and unforgettable social events.
A big thank you to everyone who attended the conference and made it a memorable and enjoyable event for all of us. In particular, we would like to thank the NRC2024 plenary speakers for their exceptional scientific contribution to the conference: Pier Luca Maffettone, Helen Wilson, John Hinch, Manfred Wilhelm and Jan Schäffer.
We would also like to thank the conference sponsors and exhibitors for their financial contribution to the organization of the conference and for showcasing their products and services at the conference: Tine, TA Instruments, Netzsch, Oleinitec, Gammadata Instrument & Thermo Fisher Scientific, Houm, Reokonsa AB and Colloids and Interfaces.
Last but certainly not least, we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the NRC2024 organizing committee: Conference Chair A. H. Rabenjamanantsoa, Arild Saasen, Vanessa Grace Ochon Booc, Linda Natalie Borho, Guro Mette Viker Bråthen and Kjetil Tjåland.
