25th Mission of Tribology

Overview

Aimed at UK research groups concerned with improving the understanding of friction, wear and lubrication processes, this half-day lecture will enable you to meet with fellow researchers for a series of presentations and discussions on current aims and progress in this area.

The emphasis is firmly on the contribution of the rising generation of researchers, with targets and methods of approach equally as important as results and conclusions.

The meeting will shine a spotlight on the national economy and the gain of benefits in efficiency, reliability and cost in the operation of plant and equipment in key areas of tribology today.
