The unprecedented demand to develop engineering systems for enhanced sustainability and longevity brings new and emerging challenges for tribological interfaces. To address the global push towards net zero, resilient economies and sustainable development, advances in experimental and computational models and materials degradation mitigation are essential. The 48th Leeds-Lyon Symposium on Tribology invites all the researchers to share their latest work in a stimulating, engaging and friendly environment. We aim to capture the exciting developments that cut across many tribological areas and underpin the development of novel technologies with a significant impact on future sustainable development.

GreenTribos consortium

The GreenTribos consortium organizes the 1st Green Tribology conference that will take place on the 6th of September 2023 in Leeds, jointly with the 48th Leeds-Lyon Symposium on Tribology. Green transition, green deal, sustainable development goals are common terms used nowadays by policymakers, and the tribology community will have an important role in addressing research challenges related to these issues. The 1st open call Green Tribology conference would like to bring together the researchers dealing with any aspect or topics related to green and sustainable tribology.

The aim of the ICoBT meetings is to bring together researchers from across the scientific, clinical and engineering spectrum, to promote communication across the different disciplines and to provide a platform for the presentation of new work in one meeting focused solely on Biotribology.

There are major water-related challenges that require enhanced molecular-level understanding and description of water at interfaces, to relate that understanding to macroscopic phenomena in aqueous systems, and then ultimately utilize or control those phenomena. Interfacial water is crucial for disciplines as diverse as atmospheric science, geochemistry, energy science, water purification/desalination, and biology. This Faraday Discussion aims to combine different approaches, both experimental and theoretical, to further our understanding of the fundamental properties of water at interfaces. Such insights are expected to have important implications for chemistry, biology and potentially medicine; key sustainable technologies such as filtration, desalination, and photocatalytic water splitting; as well as modelling of processes in atmospheric chemistry and physics.
