We will be hosting the annual congress of the Groupe Français de Rhéologie (GFR) at the Palais du Pharo in Marseille from October 22 to 25, 2024. We’d like to make this an original event, bringing together different communities tackling rheology issues in seemingly distant contexts.
To this end, we organize a session dedicated to Granular media and dense suspensions: from micro (friction/adhesion/entanglement/…) to rheology. For these systems, significant progress has been made by carefully considering microscopic interactions like friction, adhesion, repulsive forces, etc… We believe that this congress will be an excellent opportunity to raise awareness on these rheological issues, while benefiting from the experience of other communities sometimes sharing technical and conceptual problems very close to our own.
You will find the titles of the other sessions and the program of the day of lectures here: https://2024.legfr.fr
We have slots available for short presentations (~20min), as well as poster sessions with large dedicated slots in the early afternoon. We invite you to send in your abstracts via the web page before May 15th. Please do not hesitate to share the event widely with those around you, and in particular to encourage your students (including non-french speakers) to propose their contributions.
