20th Anniversary Meeting of the European Society of Rheology (2016)

March 31 to April 1, 2016 ETH Zurich, Switzer­land to­gether with the 18th Swiss Soft Days on March 30, 2016

The sym­posium "Can rhe­ology save the world?" in­clud­ing the gradu­ate stu­dent work­shop "From Mud to Blood - Did rhe­ology be­came less dirty?" will be held on March 31 to April 1, 2016 at ETH Zurich. The meet­ing is in­ten­ded to look back at what has been a suc­cess in our field and to define chal­lenges ahead. The tech­nical pro­gram of the 20th An­niversary meet­ing will fea­ture present­a­tions of in­vited speak­ers as well as poster present­a­tions.  The gradu­ate stu­dent work­shop wel­comes both oral and poster con­tri­bu­tions. For re­gis­tra­tion and ab­stract sub­mis­sion please see be­low.

AERC 2015 - Nantes/France

Plenary lectures were given by Prof. Jian Ping Gong (University of Sapporo, Japan, Department of Soft and Wet Materials), Prof. David  Pine (University of New-York, Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering), the 2015 Weissenberg Awardee Dimitris Vlassopoulos, and the 2015 recipient of the Maurice Couette Award (GFR).


The Conference had 10 thematic sessions and a poster session, which includes a student/post-doc poster competition:
- Advanced techniques and methods in rheology
- Colloids, suspensions, and granular materials
- Confined flows, microfluidics and rheology at the microscopic scale
- Food, cosmetic, active and biological rheology
- Interfacial phenomena, foams and emulsions
- Nano, micro and macroprocessing
- Polymers in solutions, self-assembling systems and gels
- Polymer melts, blends, composites and solid polymers
- Simulations and computational rheology
- Structured flows and instabilities

Before the conference (April 14, 2015), a one-day course on Advanced polymeric materials will be offered to interested participants. Three complementary lectures will be given by world-class scientists in the field: Roland Keunings (Universite Catholique de Louvain, Belgium) on Rheology and flow of polymer solutions and melts; Prof. Francisco Chinesta (Ecole Centrale de Nantes, France) on Complex flows of micro/nano structured fluids: reinforced polymer composites; and Christophe Binetruy, Faurecia (Ecole Centrale de Nantes, France) on Flows of simple and complex fluids in microstructures: reactive processing and novel composite materials. The content of the courses was illustrated by a visit on an industrial site of Airbus.
