Conference Description

The Tribology GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.

The 2024 Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) in Tribology will precede the corresponding Gordon Research Conference (GRC) in Tribology. This seminar offers a unique platform for graduate students, post-docs, and scientists with similar experience levels to present their new data and cutting-edge ideas in an open and supportive environment. Participants will have the opportunity to share their research with peers, engage in lectures to prepare for the GRC, and establish valuable professional connections. Esteemed speakers from academia and industry will discuss career paths, important questions, and future opportunities in the field of tribology. The GRS aims to foster dynamic and informative discussions among the next generation of tribologists. Participants are encouraged to submit questions and suggestions for the mentorship session to the GRS Chair prior to the meeting.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Tribology" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
