About the session
Tribology enables the control and optimisation of wear and friction in engineered products and systems. Tribology underpins industry, so it has great economic and social significance. It also contributes to meeting the growing demands for environmentally-sustainable technologies.
The competitiveness of UK industry depends on keeping ahead of new developments in Tribology. Future success depends on updating the knowledge and understanding of the workforce, so that these developments can be incorporated into future products and systems.
This inaugural event will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Jost Report, which coined the term “tribology” and focused strategic investment into this fascinating and challenging field.
It will provide a forum between industry and academia where new developments and the latest ideas in Tribology can be highlighted and where new and evolving challenges can be identified.
