An Invitation to Sponsors and Exhibitors for Attending
the XXth International Congress of Rheology (ICR2027)
Dear Colleagues and Partners:
The 20th International Congress of Rheology (ICR2027) will be held at the Chimelong International Convention Center in vibrant Guangzhou from June 20 to 25, 2027. We sincerely invite you to take part in this historic event.
Rheology is the science that studies the deformation and flow of matter. The International Congress on Rheology, held every four years in rotation among the Americas, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region, is hailed as the "Olympics" of the rheology community. It serves as the highest-level academic and industrial exchange platform, bringing together the world's top scientists, engineers, industry leaders, and young talents. ICR 2027 will be the first time in nearly 80 years that this grand event has been held in China, marking the growing influence and contribution of the Chinese community in the global field of rheology.
Under the key theme of Discovering Knowledge, Innovating Technology, Empowering Society, ICR2027 aims to harness global expertise to address scientific challenges in multi - medium, multi-scale, multi-physical, and fast-dynamic complex rheology problems. It seeks to establish an AI-driven rheology agent system integrating four core components: multi-physical experimental characterization, theoretical modeling, high performance multi-scale computing, and multimodal data fusion analysis, thereby pioneering a new paradigm in rheology research. Spanning from microscopic rheology of soft matter with multi-medium to rheology of complex living organisms, from material processing rheology to rheology of advanced intelligent manufacturing, and from deep Earth, seabed, geotechnical and environmental geology rheology to space and microgravity rheology, ICR2027 will unite global professionals to tackle critical challenges in physics and engineering, life sciences and medicine, renewable energy, green manufacturing, environmental governance, and climate change, etc. By “expanding to the macroscopic extreme, delving into the microscopic extreme, advancing under extreme conditions, and fostering interdisciplinary synergy”, it will accelerate scientific discoveries and technological innovation, and empower sustainable social and economic development.
This is not only an academic feast, but also a perfect platform to connect global innovation networks, showcase cutting-edge technologies, expand business opportunities, and establish brand leadership. We are committed to providing enterprises, universities, and research institutions with a comprehensive platform for exhibition, communication, and collaboration, covering promotion of organizations, launch of new product and technology, recruitment of high-end talents, and international cooperation. Additionally, the conference will establish special funding programs to vigorously support the growth of young rheologists, promote rheology education and popular science, and provide more support for scholars from underdeveloped countries, hence fulfilling the responsibilities and commitments of the scientific community.
By choosing to sponsor or exhibit at ICR 2027, you will:
• Positioned in the global spotlight: directly engaging with over a thousand top - tier experts, scholars, industry decision-makers, and potential clients from dozens of countries around the world;
• Demonstrating corporate leadership and social responsibility: enhancing the brand's international image and demonstrating a strong commitment to advancing basic science and sustainable development through support for this scientific event;
• Access exclusive business and academic resources: secure key connections, gain insights into technology trends, recruit top talent, and explore new pathways for industry-academia collaboration;
• Contribute to global scientific progress: your support will directly empower young scholars, advance global academic equity, and collectively shape the future of rheology.
We have designed a multi-tiered sponsorship and exhibition program and look forward to collaborating with you to create this landmark international event.
Please join ICR2027 and together create a new era in rheology!
