9.-12.6.2026, Tampere University, City centre campus
About the congress
The NORDTRIB symposium is held biennially in one of the Nordic countries: Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. It was first hosted in Tampere, Finland in 1984. Over the years the Symposium has evolved into a highly regarded venue for the international tribology community. NORDTRIB is intended as a forum where researchers and developers from universities, research institutes and industry can present their latest contributions and also discuss field-related issues.
The conference will focus on both fundamental and applied aspects of friction, wear, and lubrication covering all scales (from nano to macro). Scientific contributions in all aspects of tribology are welcome. Scientific work covering global sustainability problems, environmentally acceptable solutions and the future of energy usage, and storage are specially encouraged.
NORDTRIB 2026 will be organized by Tampere University jointly with the Finnish Society for Tribology. It will be arranged in the Tampere University city center campus.
