You are warmly invited to the Annual European Rheology Conference 2024, which takes place at the University of Leeds, UK from 9^th-12^th April 2024. Details of the meeting are now available at

https://rheology-esr.org/aerc-2024/welcome/

In particular, as co-organisers of the session on Industrial Rheology, Sustainability and Additive Manufacturing, we hope that you will consider contributing a paper to this session.

Abstract submission for contributed presentations and posters is now open, with a (hard) deadline for submitting abstracts of 15th December 2023. For more details, please see:

https://rheology-esr.org/aerc-2024/abstract-submission/

We are particularly pleased that Anke Lindner and Randy Ewoldt have agreed to speak in our plenary sessions, which will also include the winners of the 2024 Weissenberg and Oldroyd awards.  The conference aims to cover all areas of current rheological research, with sessions on:

Colloids and Glasses

Polymeric Fluids

Emulsions, Foams and Interfacial Rheology         

Microrheology and microfluidics

Experimental Methods and new rheometric techniques 

Suspensions and Granular Materials      

Food Rheology 

Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics and Flow Instabilities  

Industrial Rheology, sustainability and additive manufacturing   

Bio-rheology, Living and Active Matter

Geo-rheology   

Soft Solids and Viscoplastic Fluids

For those interested, we have organised a short course, taking place from 8^th-9^th April, on “Computational rheology using rheoTool” to be presented by Célio Fernandes  and Manuel Alves.

We hope to see you all in Leeds next year!

With best wishes
