About the Conference


Faculty of Engineering, University of Kragujevac

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we would like to invite you to attend the 20th International Conference on Tribology – SERBIATRIB ’27, which will be held in Kragujevac, Serbia, at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Kragujevac, on 19–21 May 2027. Participants are welcome to attend either in person or online.

The conference has been organized every two years since 1989 by the Serbian Tribology Society and the Faculty of Engineering, University of Kragujevac, with broad participation from universities and major industrial organizations. The Serbian Tribology Society is a full member of the International Tribology Council (ITC) and the Balkan Tribological Association.

The aim of SERBIATRIB ’27 is to bring together researchers and engineers to exchange ideas and experience, present research results, and discuss challenges and potential solutions in tribology research and practice.

Accepted papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings, and their abstracts will be included in the Book of Abstracts. Interested authors may also submit extended versions of their conference papers for publication in the journals supporting SERBIATRIB ’27.

Conference Topics:

  • Fundamentals of friction and wear
  • Tribological properties of solid materials
  • Surface engineering and coating tribology
  • Lubricants and lubrication
  • Tribotesting and tribosystem monitoring
  • Tribology in machine elements
  • Tribology in manufacturing processes
  • Tribology in transportation engineering
  • Design and calculation of tribocontacts
  • Sealing tribology
  • Biotribology
  • Nanotribology and microtribology
  • Other topics related to tribology

We hope that SERBIATRIB ’27 will stimulate new ideas and concepts and promote further advances in tribology by bringing together specialists, research scientists and industrial technologists.
