We are proud to continue our involvement in supporting Tribology research by sponsoring the 2015 TriboUK student conference. Check it out.
“TriboUK, the annual student tribology conference, is coming to Loughborough in 2015. Now in its 12th year, this two-day conference provides PhD level students from any institution the ideal platform to present their tribology related research, get up to speed on other research and share experiences and challenges with peers.”
