The Korean Society of Rheology

The Korean Society of Rheology, founded in February 1989 with Professor Sang-yong Kim of Seoul National University as its first president, is comprised of approximately 720 members and 40 special member companies and group members, and is an active member of universities, research institutes, and industries. We are actively engaged in international exchanges with domestic activities and related international organizations. In addition, in order to develop ties with local regions and develop local rheology, we have established four branches (Daegu and Gyeongbuk branches, Busan and Gyeongnam branches, Chungcheong branch and Honam branch) to promote active exchange with local areas.

As for domestic activities, we discuss research trends in universities and industries and share the results through annual spring (May) and fall (November) academic conferences. In the case of the spring conference, it is held in a local area to promote exchange with the region, and in the case of the fall conference, it was agreed to be held jointly with the Australian Society of Rheology from 2001, and the conference is held every two years with Korea. It was decided to hold the event alternately in Australia. In addition, by opening a special course on rheology, we are providing basic knowledge and recent research trends in rheology to industrial practitioners through theoretical lectures and laboratory practice. In addition, seminars by invited scholars and special lectures are held in Seoul and other regions.
