Overview
Conference topics
Following the previous successful Iberian
Rheology Conferences (2004, 2008, 2011 and
2013), organized jointly by the Portuguese
Society of Rheology (SPR) and Spanish
Group of Rheology (GER), IBEREO 2015
will take place in Coimbra, Portugal, in the
premises of the prestigious University of
Coimbra, well known by its history of over
700 years, but also by recent contributions to
modern science, namely through its Faculty
of Science & Technology (FCTUC).
The conference will be held in the
Engineering Campus of FCTUC located by
the river Mondego.
The conference will address the most recent
trends in rheology, from experimental
techniques to modeling and simulation,
focusing on a variety of applications and
stressing the importance of rheology for the
development of new products.
The conference is open to the participation of
international specialist in the field of
rheology. A reputed range of keynote
speakers will lead us to update knowledge in
the field of the conference becoming aware of
the most recent developments and tendencies
in this field. We aim at creating, with this
meeting, the opportunity for exchange of
scientific experience among participants.
State of the art rheological techniques and
related equipment will be available in
different stands.
