The annual NRC, the Nordic Rheology Conference features invited speakers of international standing as well as sessions on general rheology. Read more about the next NRC.
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.

Previous NRCs

2024
Stavanger
The scope and theme for the NRC2024 will be Rheology for Science and Technology. As usual, contributions from experimental and theoretical contributions from all areas of rheology, industrial case studies, and all kinds of contributions are welcomed. The goal of the conference is to create a gathering of people interested in the scientific, technical, and industrial applications within the science of rheology.
2023
Aarhus
Soft Matter Science meets Food
2022
Reykjavik
The conference, as usual, covers the complete area of rheology.The main theme for NRC2022 is Supramolecular chemistry. All kinds of papers are welcome, especially e.g. industrial case studies. The aim is a large gathering of people interested in the scientific, technical, and application development within the area of rheology.
2021
Cyberspace
In 2021, the Nordic Rheology Conference will be organized jointly with the Nordic Polymer Days (NRC&NPD2021). The special theme of the conference is 'Sustainable Chemistry and Materials', but oral and poster contributions from all areas of rheology, polymer and biomaterials research are warmly welcome. Both academic and industrial researchers are cordially invited to present their latest research findings.
2021
Cyberspace
The Annual European Rheology Conference 2021 was due to travel restrictions held in Cyberspace where participants met as avatars rather than physically. It was almost like a normal conference and you could walk around in the conference centre and choose session, or interact with colleagues at the exhibition area and by a poster, but from a safe distance behind your own computer screen. <br><br> Contributions from industrial case studies as well as academic studies were presented for more than five hundred participants interested in the science, technology and application development within the area of rheology. <br><br> The conference could be followed in the <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/groups/1959758/">Rheology Forum</a> on Linkedin and the group <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/rheology/">Rheology</a> on Facebook.
2020
Cyberspace
The Nordic Rheology Conferences are open for all interested in rheology. Due to travel restrictions related to the spread of covid-19 the participants 2020 met as avatars in cyberspace rather than physically. <br><br> Like previous NRCs all aspects and areas of rheology were covered including contributions from industrial case studies as well as academic studies, and the aim was a large gathering of persons interested in the science, technology and application development within the area of rheology. There were interesting lectures and posters as well as networking and an exhibition.<br><br>
2019
Gothenburg
The conference covered all aspects and areas of rheology. Industrial case studies and academic research papers were presented. <br/><br/> The NRC2019 highlighted the rheology of cellulose systems relating to the use in polymer composites, coatings, paper, pulp, pharmaceuticals, food, etc. The pulp and paper industry is important in the Nordic countries and special attention was therefore given to this field. Other subjects of special interest for NRC2019 included food, polymeric materials and bio-applications.
