Save the date!

After this year's edition, yet to come in April in Leeds, next Annual European Rheology Conference will take place in Lyon, from April 14th to April 17th 2025.
The event will be coupled to the 59th anniversary of the GFR national congress.

We look forward to meeting you there for great scientific exchanges.

Les Journées des Jeunes Rhéologues se tiendront pendant trois jours, du 22 au 24 juin 2022, à l’Université de Bretagne Occidentale à Brest, dans les locaux de la Faculté des Lettres et Sciences Humaines Victor Ségalen. Elles sont ouvertes aux membres et non membres de l’association du GFR.

Ce congrès permet à des doctorants et post-doctorants de présenter, sous forme de communications orales, les résultats de leurs travaux récents dans tous les domaines de la rhéologie. Cinq chercheurs ayant apporté une contribution originale à la rhéologie sont invités à donner une conférence plénière.

With a support of the European Society of rheology (ESR) and the French Group of Rheology (GFR), we are organizing the Young Rheologists Days 2021/”Journées des jeunes rhéologues 2021” (JJR 2021) which will be held at Giron (Jura, France), March 9-12 2021. The main focus of this conference is to establish a discussion forum for the community of engineers and scientists in the rheology field. We aim at giving, for the first time, a more international dimension to our meeting, thanks to the privileged location of Giron. Indeed, rheologists from universities, research centers or industry will be able to report on the most recent advances in the field. It is our belief that this conference would benefit from expanding to (i) bordering countries such as Switzerland, Italy, Belgium, Germany, Spain and (ii) other countries over Europe and Africa and Asia .....

Nordic Rheology Conference
Gothenburg, August 21-23, 2019
The conference covers all aspects and areas of rheology. Industrial case studies and academic research papers are both welcome. The aim is to bring together and enhance the exchange of knowledge between researchers, users, application specialists and instrumentation manufacturers in Nordic countries and beyond.

The NRC2019 highlights 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 will therefore be given to this field. Other subjects of special interest for NRC2019 include food, polymeric materials and bio-applications.

Chers collègues, Chers amis,

Since 1989, the Powders and Grains Conference is held every four years with the goal of providing an up-to-date picture of the broad research field of powders, grains, and granular media. Based on the topics covered in previous conferences, and considering key emerging areas, the conference themes include granular solids, granular flows, granular gas, constitutive modeling, particle properties, cohesive materials, and applications to geomaterials and constructions, biomaterials and life-sciences, soil-root/plant interactions, reactive powders, geological scale modeling, pharmaceuticals, nano-granular materials, granular suspensions and colloids. Granular-related abstracts on all above research themes are welcome.
