The British Society of Rheology was founded in 1940, mainly as a result of the increased interest in rheology (the science of the deformation and flow of matter) brought about by the second world war. It was formed as the British Rheology Club and renamed the British Society of Rheology in 1950. Its aim being the "bringing together of rheologists and of promoting rheology as a science to the public at large." It now boasts over 600 members from across the world, and was one of founding members of the International Society of Rheology in 1953, and of the European Society of Rheology in 1996.
