The European Society of Rheology is open for everyone interested in rheology in all countries of Europe. Rheology is defined as the science of the deformation and flow of matter which means that rheology in some form enters almost every study of material properties. The ESR involves rheologists engaged in both industrial and academic research and development and is therefore a common meeting ground for engineers, physicists, chemists and biologists with a common interest in rheology
Welcome to the Annual European Rheology Conference (AERC 2021) in Cyberspace during April 13-14, 2021. More information can be found on the conference web-site or in the AERC youtube trailer.
The 2021 Weissenberg Award will be bestowed during next AERC, to be held virtually on April 13-14, 2021. The award is given for outstanding, long-term achievements in the field of Rheology. Only rheologists whose center of scientific activities lie in Europe are eligible. Nominators do not need to be members of the ESR, should not nominate more than one nominee and may not write support letters for other nominees. A letter writer should not support more than two nominees. ESR officers and delegates are not eligible to nominate, write support letters or be nominated. The nomination package must include:
Nominations should be sent to the Chairman of the Weissenberg Award Committee (Prof. Dimitris Vlassopoulos, weissenberg@rheology-esr.org) not later than January 31, 2021. Please do not hesitate to contact the Chairman or the ESR President in case you need further information.
The Annual European Rheology Conference that was planned to be held in Sevilla/Spain is shifted to 2022. For more information, please visit the AERC 2022 site.

Access to Rheologica Acta and Applied Rheology is free for all individual members of the ESR. Please access Rheologica Acta and Applied Rheology via the 'Member area'.
All participants of AERC 2019 (Portoroz) are automatically individual members of the ESR until April 2021.
At every AERC or ICR, the editors of Rheologica Acta present the publication award sponsored by Anton Paar. This award gets selected by three editorial board members based on a preselection by the editors and is aimed to highlight the type of work which the journal likes to see published.
The 2020 Rheologica Acta Publication Award was given to:
Roger Tanner, Christopher Ness, Arif Mahmud, Shaocong Dai, Jiyoung Moon: A bootstrap mechanism for non-colloidal suspension viscosity, Rheologica Acta 57 (2018) 635-643.
The entire list of the Rheologica Acta Publication Awards and the Weissenberg Lecture papers can be found in the archive.
