	European Society of Rheology, ESR
	The European Society of Rheology is open for everyone interested in rheology in all countries of Europe. Rheology is defined as the science of the deformation and flow of matter which means that rheology in some form enters almost every study of material properties. The ESR involves rheologists engaged in both industrial and academic research and development and is therefore a common meeting ground for engineers, physicists, chemists and biologists with a common interest in rheology
	Xplore (Main sponsor)
	Xplore is the front runner in developing, producing and marketing micro compounding and shaping instruments. These instruments are utilized for formulation development and screening of polymer materials and blends, polymer compounds, biomedical applications, low bioavailable or slow release pharmaceuticals (HME), energetic materials and nutritional products. We can help you with small scale mixing instruments (extruders and compounders), injection moulding, fiber spinning and conditioning, and cast film lines. Our equipment excels in durability, reliability and ease of use. Our conical twin screw compounders can be equipped with proprietary rheological software that provides the screw torque in the melt, the melt viscosity, the shear rate and shear stress. In addition we developed a proprietary protocol to guide you with up scaling your recipe to larger scale, parallel twin screw extruders. We also develop custom designed solutions such as a lignin (pre-treatment) fiber line or a multi-filament fiber die.

	Netzsch (Silver sponsors)
	The Analyzing & Testing business unit of the NETZSCH Group develops and manufactures a complete high-precision instrument line for thermal analysis and thermophysical properties measurement, as well as offering world class commercial testing services in our laboratories. Our instrumentation is employed for research and quality control in the polymer sector, the chemical industry, the areas of inorganic and building materials, and environmental analysis. Instruments for controlling – such as for in-situ cure monitoring – complete our product line. On February 1st 2020, Netzsch acquired the Kinexus rotational rheometers and Rosand capillary rheometers formerly manufactured and distributed by Malvern Panalytical Limited. For NETZSCH Analyzing & Testing, the acquisition of the two rheometer product families is an extension to the existing product portfolio and an excellent addition to the established thermal analysis instruments. Rotational rheometers help maintain parameters such as consistency and fluidity, which in turn allow predictions to be made about stability, texture, and shelf life. Capillary rheometers enable the optimization of process conditions and material properties for critical product functionality

More than 100 nationalities are represented among our students, who spend five years on our campus studying various engineering courses. This is a major advantage of our school where recruiters are concerned.
	Groupe Français de Rhéologie, GFR
	The GFR was founded in 1964 and represents more than 250 rheologists from more than 20 Universities, and 30 professionals from our major industries, actively engaged with a common interest in rheology. The GFR is a member of the International Committee of Rheology (ICR) and the European Society of Rheology (ESR). The group organizes a “National Congress” each year, two annual workshops linking academia and industry and the “Young Rheologists Days”, mainly devoted to students, every two years.
	Groupe Français des polymères
	Better known by its acronym GFP, the French Group of Studies and Applications of Polymers is a non-profit association. It was created on November 27, 1970 on the initiative of Dr. A.J. Kovacs and Prof. G. Champetier (1905-1980), the latter becoming its first president. Dr. A.J. Kovacs became its first secretary general, and the seat was fixed at the Center for Research on Macromolecules of Strasbourg (current ICS). Its mission, recognized as a public utility in 1990, is to promote the development of polymers in higher education and research organizations, but also within the French industrial fabric.

	IMP CNRS UMR 5223
	The Laboratory of Polymer Materials Engineering (IMP : Ingénierie des Matériaux Polymères) is a joint research unit (UMR5223) belonging from the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), University Claude Bernard Lyon 1, St Etienne University Jean Monnet and the National Institute of Applied Sciences (INSA) in Lyon. The IMP Laboratory has a singular position at the national and international levels. By integrating various scientific skills related to polymer science (macromolecular chemistry, rheology, processing and reactive processing, physics ...) but also by all the research abilities required to address interfaces with other fields (catalysis, chemical engineering or biology). The IMP develops activities from basic research to applicative goals, from synthesis of new macromolecular architectures and formulation of polymers to the establishment of structure-properties relationships. To meet these scientific goals and societal-industrial achievements and with the specificity of the three sites of high education, the Laboratory is organized into four scientific areas of excellence: 1-Chemistry of Polymers, 2-Polymer Structure: Rheology & Processing, 3-Physcics and functional properties of polymer-based materials, 4-Polymer materials at the interface with life sciences.
