ROTRIB’24 is the 15th in a series of international scientific events on TRIBOLOGY organised in Romania, initiated in 1978. The general objective of this conference is to contribute and demonstrate fundamentals, applications, and experiences in the field of Tribology. The conference will provide an interdisciplinary forum for discussion, networking and initiating collaborations among specialists, about materials and Tribology and their applications to product design and reliability. Tribology needs to reconfigure its directions of evolution to meet the latest developments in science and technology, and we hope that ROTRIB'24 will be an excellent opportunity to accomplish this.
