Professor Rob Dwyer-Joyce gave a keynote lecture entitled: Losses in the Electrical Powertrain - from Wind Turbines to electric vehicle. In his lecture, he comprehensively showed the entire cycle of green mobility. From green harvesting of electrical energy, to the transmission of the energy to the consumer, to the final use of this energy in the electric car. By going into detail point by point, he explained how great the losses are in the entire process and where the opportunities for significant improvements lie.

The final part of the conference was the round table discussion, where mentors, supervisors, ESRs and also other audience participated. During the discussion, it was emphasised that reliability is an important factor that is often neglected in the search for green solutions in tribology today. The GreenTRIBOS supervisors and ESRs also presented to the audience the main lessons learned during the three years of the project, as well as future challenges.
