The symposium provides an opportunity for exchanging top-level technical information on the progress of tribology and its application to automotive technology, through which it demonstrates the potential of industry-academia collaboration in order to contribute to solving issues related to automotive tribology.
Each time this symposium is organized, a different theme related to tribology is explored and dynamic discussions attended by representatives of both industry and academia are held.
