Tampere, Finland
1-3 of June |
Nordic Rheology Conference 2005
The 14th Nordic Rheology
Conference will take place from Wednesday 1st of June till Friday 3rd of
June 2005 at Tampere University of Technology. Tampere is the third
largest city in Finland with population of over 200 000 inhabitants, and
is located 173 kilometres north of the capital, Helsinki. Tampere
airport can be reached by direct flights from Stockholm and Copenhagen.
The conference aim were as usual to cover all aspects of rheology and this year,
special focus was placed on “Rheology of Processing”
dealing mainly with rheological aspects in processing of polymeric materials and
composites.
The invited speakers were
-
Prof. Salvatore Iannace, IMCB-CNR & University of Naples, Italy.
-
Prof. Jean L. Leblanc, Pierre & Marie Curie University, France
-
Benoît Debbaut, Fluent Benelux, Belgium
Prior to the conference, a rheology
course was held at the 1th of June. This course was gave a good basic knowledge
of the fundamentals of rheology to make it easier to understand more complicated
topics discussed during the conference.
