Tribology international conference 2022 will run this year jointly to the 6^th edition of the Surfaces, Interfaces and Coatings Technologies International Conference SICT 2022 and the 2^nd edition of Plasma Tech 2022 in Barcelona, Spain from 27 to 29 April. 2022.

These joint conferences provides an international exchange forum for the industry and the academia. Leading university researchers present their latest findings, and representatives of the industry inspire scientists to develop new solutions.

Tribology International conference 2022 main topics include:

• Surface engineering in tribology 
• Tribo-chemistry
• Tribo-surfaces,
• Coatings, surfaces and underlying mechanisms
• Wear and friction, Contact mechanics 
• Bio-tribology/ biomimetics
• Nano-tribology
• Modelling and Simulation in tribology 
• lubricants and additives
• Sustainable lubrication
• Test methodologies and measurement technologies
• Tribology in manufacturing processes and industrial systems 
• Digitisation in tribology

In addition to the main conference sessions covering the event topics, different focus sessions/symposia and EU projects workshops are planned within the conference program. These focus sessions and workshops offer the conference participants the opportunity to go more into depth with one specific topic. They are open for all the event attendees. Tribology 2022 includes the following EU Projects workshops and  focus sessions:

• i-TRIBOMAT: The European Tribology Centre (EU H2020 Workshop) : Intelligent Open Test Bed for Materials Tribological Characterisation Services
• ReSISTant EU Project workshop: Drag Reducing Surfaces (Riblets)- Simulations, high resistant nano-coatings development, applications and new manufacturing processes for future worldwide applications.
• Physics or chemistry of tribo-surfaces
• bio-tribology
• Tribology in surface engineering and materials
• nano-tribology
• lubricants and hydrodynamic lubrication

Tribology 2022 goes hybrid; let’s meet on-site & online!

The conference committee offers flexible presentation and attendance options in a year of transition. We are preparing to meet in person in Barcelona- Spain, but we recognize that others may prefer to wait. That is why the conference will be presented in a hybrid format, comprised of in-person and virtual presentation (Oral/ poster). Present and participate in the format most convenient for you.

Three conferences at one place

The registration to Tribology 2022 will allow you to attend also the two other joint conferences (Surfaces, Interfaces and Coatings International Conference 2022 and PlasmaTech 2022) running in parallel at the same venue.
