Beneficiaries

Europe is at the forefront of tribology research; however, there is no individual research centre or university that could possibly cover the broad range of research topics at the necessary advanced levels and so provide the early-stage researchers (ESRs) with the knowledge and skills needed to tackle the problems involved in creating a more sustainable engineering future. GreenTRIBOS therefore brings together Europe’s four leading academic tribology-research institutions: University of Ljubljana, University of Leeds, University of Coimbra and Luleå University of Technology.

• University of Ljubljana

• University of Leeds

• University of Coimbra

• Luleå University of Technology

The key academic groups of TRIBOS consortium are leading and world renown in their own field of Tribology and Surface engineering. They are very complementary from point of view of surfaces, lubricants and interfaces, as well as engineering component design. Thus, their involvement in a single programme enables integration of the whole range of tribology sub-areas required for successful application solutions.
