The 8th Young Tribological Researcher Symposium (YTRS) is officially taking place since yesterday!

Monday, before the start of the symposium, the annual meeting of the Young Tribologists working group – part of the GfT – took place, welcoming several new members to the community.

And now they are in the middle of a two days full inspiring presentations, discussions, and networking opportunities for youngtribologists at Rheinland-Pfälzische Technische Universität Kaiserslautern-Landau (RPTU).

Our young tribologists were also very happy to have Luther Rolf representing the GfT with them.

🙏 A big thank you to the sponsors Schaeffler and RENK Group for their generous support.

✨ Many thanks as well to Prof. Dr.-Ing. Oliver Koch for giving them the opportunity to host the YTRS at the MEGT | Lehrstuhl für Maschinenelemente, Getriebe und Tribologie in Kaiserslautern.

Let’s continue to support young researchers and strengthen the field of tribology together.
