DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Antonio Bombard (UNIFEI)\n\n\n\nWelcome!\n \n\n\n\n
 \nSince the first symposium held in July 1987 in Boston\, MA\, USA\, featu
 ring eight papers focused exclusively on electrorheology\, the biennial ER
 MR conferences have steadily grown and expanded across several countries. 
 Over nearly four decades\, the conference series on electrorheological and
  magnetorheological materials has evolved significantly\, reflecting advan
 ces in both fundamental research and the wide range of technological and e
 ngineering applications of these smart materials.\nAs we celebrate 40 year
 s since the inaugural meeting\, the ERMR conference has already taken plac
 e in cities such as Raleigh (NC)\, Carbondale (IL)\, Feldkirch\, Sheffield
  (UK)\, Yonezawa\, Honolulu\, Nice\, Beijing\, Lake Tahoe\, Dresden\, Phil
 adelphia\, Ankara\, Granada\, Incheon\, Maryland\, Wollongong\, Chongqing\
 , and Montreal. For the first time\, the conference will now be hosted in 
 a South American country.\nBrazil warmly welcomes international visitors a
 nd is an accessible destination for academic events. For many nationalitie
 s\, short stays\, such as those required for a week-long international con
 ference\, do not require a visa\, making participation convenient for dele
 gates from around the world.\nIn a world marked by uncertainty and rapid t
 echnological progress\, it is increasingly important to combine expertise 
 and collaborate across disciplines. Advances in electrorheological (ER) an
 d magnetorheological (MR) materials depend on the integration of knowledge
  from fundamental sciences\, such as Physics\, Chemistry\, and Materials S
 cience\, together with developments in Artificial Intelligence\, Informati
 on Technology\, mechatronics\, robotics\, and related engineering fields. 
 Only through such interdisciplinary efforts can we address the many challe
 nges that remain in ER and MR applications.\nThe town of Itajubá\, with f
 ewer than 100\,000 inhabitants\, offers a peaceful and welcoming environme
 nt. Thanks to the support of the Federal University of Itajubá\, which ha
 s generously made its auditoriums and facilities available for the event\,
  we will have the honor of hosting students\, researchers\, and delegates 
 at ERMR 2027.\nWe hope this conference will provide an excellent opportuni
 ty to exchange ideas\, learn from one another\, reconnect with friends and
  colleagues\, and envision the future of ERMR research and applications in
  the decades to come.\nIn addition to the publication of all accepted exte
 nded abstracts in the conference proceedings for registered participants\,
  authors presenting their work at ERMR 2027 are strongly encouraged to sub
 mit their research papers for consideration in dedicated special issues of
  the journals Journal of Intelligent Material Systems and Structures (SAGE
 )\, Smart Materials and Structures (IOP)\, or Rheologica Acta (Springer). 
 These submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure th
 ey meet the high standards of academic excellence maintained by these publ
 ications.\nWe look forward with great pleasure to your visit to Brazil wit
 h your contribution\, honoring the 20th ERMR with your presence.\nCordiall
