“Everything flows like this, without ceasing, day and night” stated by the Confucius (551 BC~479 BC) stood by a river is equivalent of “pantarhei” by the Heraclitus (540 BC~475 BC), as suggested in the translation of “The Analects of Confucius” (Simon Leys, 1996). Since our successful bid at Athens in the last August, Chinese Society of Rheology (CSR) has actively started various preparatory work for hosting the 20th International Congress on Rheology at Guangzhou in June 20th – 25th, 2027, in short ICR2027. The specially designed emblem of ICR2027 is engraved on Chinese traditional seal cutting with the pattern of Guangzhou map (like a flying seagull) and the ancient Chinese character of “Water” (in the oracle bone inscription) on its top, symbolizing the classical culture inheritance and a new journey of Rheology. By promoting “Discover Knowledge, Innovate Technology and Empower Society” as its core values, ICR2027 has attracted much support and enthusiasm from the Chinese Chemical Society and the Chinese Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, the Guangzhou Municipal Science and Technology Bureau                                                                         MORE >>
