History

The predecessor of the NRS, Swedish Society of Rheology, was founded in 1956 as a part of the Swedish National Committee for Mechanics.[4] Erik Forslind was elected as the first president, Hilding Faxén as vice-president and Josef Kubát as secretary. The Swedish Society of Rheology became a full member of the International Committee on Rheology (ICR) in 1969, and it organized the VIIth International Congress on Rheology in Gothenburg in 1976.[5]

The name Swedish Society of Rheology was changed to Nordic Rheology Society in 1992 with the aim of increased Nordic cooperation.[4][6] The first president of the NRS was Carl Klason.[5] Since 1992, the NRS has annually organized the Nordic Rheology Conference.[7] In addition, the NRS has hosted the Annual European Rheology Conference (AERC) in 2010 (Gothenburg), 2017 (Copenhagen) and 2021 (online).[8] During the COVID-19 pandemic, the NRS pioneered the use of avatar-based virtual event platforms in scientific conferences.[9]

Conferences and publications

The annual scientific meeting of the NRS, Nordic Rheology Conference (NRC), circulates between the Nordic countries.[7] It typically features scientific presentations from various fields of rheology, a technical exhibition, a rheology short course, as well as social program.[10][11] The Annual Transactions of the Nordic Rheology Society is the official publication of the NRS and it features papers presented at NRCs.[12]

Furthermore, the NRS occasionally organizes local rheology seminars in the Nordic countries.

Awards

The NRS presents two awards for outstanding rheologists who are active in the Nordic countries:[13]

  • The Carl Klason Rheology Award
  • The Young Rheologists Rheology Award
