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.

We are glad to announce that Prof. Maria Charalambides will give a plenary lecture at the joint Nordic Rheology Conference & DRG Symposium 2025 in Berlin.

Maria Charalambides (PhD, DIC, CEng, FIMechE) is a Professor in Mechanics of Materials at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College London. She is the current President of British Society of Rheology. Amongst Maria’s research interests is mechanics of soft solids and particulate polymeric composites, rheological characterisation and modelling of soft solids found in various applications such as in foods, plastic bonded and granular explosives, paints and plastics in art conservation, adhesives, foams and mechanical recycling of plastic packaging. She leads the Soft Solids research group. Maria has published over 100 papers and has received funding from both industry and Research Councils UK. Her published research includes material modelling and mechanical characterisation, micromechanics models of particulate filled composites as well as cellular and porous structures, experimental and numerical modelling of industrial food processes as well as oral and gastric processes and fracture and deformation in paint and adhesive coatings.
