WeSST - Web Seminar Series on Tribology (No replies)
Back to Event listings...
We are happy to announce the first edition of WeSST - Web Seminar Series on Tribology - which will run weekly from the 26th of May until the end of June 2020
The topic of this first series is “Tribology advances over the next decade”. Each week we will hear from two experts from academia and industry, experiment and theory, about the pressing challenges of tribology and how we can overcome them. You can find a provisional timetable below, or on our website (https://wesstribo.com).
The seminars will be hosted on Zoom. There is no conference fee but you need to register to access the meetings (please click on Register on the website).
The work of attendees will be showcased in the Twitter poster conference - with prizes!
This seminar series is sponsored by the Institute of Physics, the Royal Society of Chemistry and Swiss Tribology.
Hope to (virtually) see you all in May!
The organizers,
Dr. James Ewen (Imperial College London) and Dr. Chiara Gattinoni (ETH Zurich)
