The SwissTribology Symposium is a specialized scientific and technical conference dedicated to tribology—the study of friction, wear, lubrication, and the interaction of contacting surfaces. The symposium brings together researchers, engineers, academics, industrial specialists, and technology developers to exchange knowledge and present the latest advances in tribological science and engineering.

The event provides a platform for discussing both fundamental research and industrial applications, with topics covering friction and wear, lubrication technologies, surface engineering, tribological coatings, materials science, contact mechanics, biotribology, nanotribology, and sustainable tribological solutions.
