Partner Event - 47th Leeds-Lyon Symposium on Tribology
The Leeds-Lyon Symposium on Tribology has a half century tradition of gathering scientists from around the world to address current tribological challenges. For the 47th edition, the organisers would like to highlight new developments of the original topics addressed during the previous meetings. Invited speakers will open the sessions followed by regular presentations submitted under the theme "48th Leeds-Lyon Symposium on Tribology" and accepted by the scientific committee.
Sessions: “Transient Processes in Tribology”, “Multifacets of Tribology”, “Energy and Health”, “Interactions of Tribology and the Operating Environment”
Co-chairs: Nicolas FILLOT, INSA Lyon ; Julien FONTAINE, Ecole Centrale de Lyon ; Aurélien SAULOT, INSA Lyon ; Fabrice VILLE, INSA Lyon
