The NORDTRIB symposium is held biennially in one of the Nordic countries: Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. It was first hosted in Tampere, Finland in 1984. Over the years the Symposium has evolved into a highly regarded venue for the international tribology community. NORDTRIB is intended as a forum where researchers and developers from universities, research institutes and industry can present their latest contributions and also discuss field-related issues. 

During the years the conference has grown and it is now much larger than it was in 1984. NORDTRIB has become an international event, where tribologists and scientists from several countries meet. We hope that you will all come and find out by yourself why Nordtrib visitors tend to come back every second year to this event.
