Conference Notice | The 7th Asian International Tribology Conference and the 9th China International Tribology Conference

Welcome speech

The Asian International Tribology Congress (ASIATRIB) is an international event hosted by the Asian Tribology Council (ATC), an alliance of tribology societies/institutions in several Asia-Pacific countries (China, Japan, South Korea, India, Australia, Malaysia, etc.). The congress is held every four years and involves scientists and engineers from academia and industry. The 6th ASIATRIB was held in Kuching, capital of Sarawak, Malaysia, from September 17 to 20, 2018. The seventh ASIATRIB was originally scheduled for September 2022 in Beijing, China, but was postponed due to the outbreak.

China International Tribology Conference (CICT) is sponsored by the Tribology Branch of China Mechanical Engineering Society. CICT is also a large-scale international event, attracting a wide range of scientists and engineers from universities and industry around the world. Since 1993, the conference has been successfully held for 8 sessions, including the first (1993, Beijing), the second (1998, Beijing), the third (2001, Beijing), the fourth (2004, Xi 'an), the fifth (2008, Beijing), the sixth (2011, Lanzhou), the seventh (2014, Xuzhou), the eighth (2017, Beijing, held in conjunction with the 2017 World Tribology Congress). The 9th CICT was originally planned to be held in Chengdu, China from September 15 to 18, 2020, but was postponed due to the epidemic.

In 2024, the Tribology Branch of the Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society sincerely invites you to participate in the 7th Asian International Tribology Conference (ASIATRIB2024) and the 9th China International Tribology Conference (CICT2024). The Joint Congress will be held in Tianjin, China, from 14 to 18 September 2024. The conference not only builds a bridge between academia and industry, but also scholars, researchers, engineers and business people from all over the world share academic experience, discuss cutting-edge technology, discuss innovative ideas, and help tribology during the conference. Technology and applications move forward. In September 2024, in Tianjin, which has a long history and unlimited vitality, we look forward to meeting our tribology colleagues from all over the world.

Tianjin Introduction

Tianjin is located in North China, on the coast of the Bohai Sea. It is a municipality and a coastal megacity, as well as one of the nine national central cities in mainland China. The name of Tianjin originated in the Ming Dynasty, meaning "the place where the emperor crossed Tianjin". Here is China's national historical and cultural city, since ancient times because of water transport and prosperity. Today, this place is one of the most livable cities in China, a national environmental protection model city, a popular investment destination and innovation center, and a good tourist destination. It is here that historical monuments are preserved, nature creates scenery, churches and temples coexist, and there are memorial sites of the Chinese revolution that will illuminate Tianjin's present and future. It is also famous for preserving traditional Chinese culture, such as Yangliuqing woodblock New Year pictures, Allegro (a traditional rap art that belongs to the genre rhythm of Chinese folk art forms), cross talk, Peking Opera, etc.
