Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to our session on the « Rheology of living and active systems » at the 19th International Congress on Rheology to be held from July 29th to August 4th, 2023, in Athens Greece.

This session deals with rheological effects of living systems, such as bacterial colonies, or synthetic microswimmers, either in bulk or at interfaces. This includes both measurements and predictions of the rheological properties of such systems. We are particularly excited about the potential to deepen connections between the fields of biology, « active » matter, and rheology—whose intersection represents an important frontier for our field—through this session.

The submission deadline is January 10, 2023 and further details are available here.
