The Society of Rheology, Japan (SRJ) was founded in 1973 and was approved, in 2005, by Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology as an only official society specialized to rheological research in Japan. SRJ is a member of the International Congress of Rheology.
The aim of SRJ is to promote the research in the field of rheology by supplying information and offering opportunities for cooperation among scientists and engineers with any interest in rheology. It publishes a periodical journal, regularly organizes a few meetings each year, occasionally organizes international conferences, and supports meetings sponsored by other societies.
The SRJ now consists of three Branches covering east, middle, and west parts of Japan. It also has six Special Divisions, each involving the members in a specific field of rheology. The SRJ consists of more than 1,000 personal members and 45 sustaining members as of April 2006. The SRJ membership is open to all researchers from any part of the world, and to all persons who feel the activities of the society advance their professional development and intellectual curiosity.

POLYMER PROCESSING SOCIETY
http://psfebus.allenpress.com/eBusPOPR/
THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SRJ is held for 2 days in every May. About 20 posters and 15 talks are presented in addition to SRJ award lectures. The meeting in 2006 was held in Tokyo.
THE RHEOLOGY SYMPOSIUM (fall meeting), held for 3 days in every October or November, is the largest, regular meeting on rheology in Japan. The symposium attracts more than 250 participants, and presentations are given for more than 150 papers and a few special Lectures.
■The 68th Rheology Symposium Abstract Upload Form
☆The 68th Rheology Symposium Abstract Upload Form (English)(word)
Period of Application: 2020/07/27 00:00~2020/08/24 00:00
From this form, we accept uploading abstracts of the 68th Rheology Symposium.
[Application flow]
THE RHEOLOGY COURSE, held for 2 days in every November or December, is an introductory course in rheology for materials engineers. The course, covering rheology in general, is highly appreciated for educating newcomers in industries, and about 100 participants attend the course every year.
THE COURSE FOR FOOD RHEOLOGY, held for 2 days in every December for a limited number of participants (30 at the maximum), is a comprehensive course for foods and natural products. The course, offering several lectures combined with actual rheological measurements on site, is highly appreciated for improving the use of rheological measurements as a tool in food industry.
THE COURSE FOR SUSPENSIONS, held for 1 day in every June, is a comprehensive course for suspensions/emulsions. The course is highly appreciated for improving the use of rheological measurements as a tool in industries related to paints, cosmetics, flow designing, etc.
THE RHEOLOGY WORKSHOP, held occasionally according to requests from the SRJ members, is an introductory workshop for a specific subject like computer-aided engineering.
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES have been occasionally organized by SRJ. The meetings include the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Kyoto Symposia on Rheology (1884, 1988, 1996, and 2002) and the 1st Pacific Conference on Rheology (PCR). The 5th Pacific Rim Conference on Rheology (PRCR; previously RCR) will be organized by SRJ in 2010.
THE SRJ AWARD and THE SRJ RESEARCH AWARD are given to a few members of SRJ who made creative and distinguished scientific researches in the field of rheology.
