LUBMAT 2023: A Comprehensive Conference on Lubrication, Maintenance, and Tribotechnology

In this episode, Emma and Daniel talk about the Eighth European Conference on Lubrication, Maintenance, and Tribotechnology (LUBMAT 2023), set to take place from July 17th to 19th, 2023, at the new £35 million Engineering Innovation Centre at the University of Central Lancashire's Preston Campus. The conference promises an array of plenary presentations, parallel sessions, student activities, and an exhibition. Contributors are invited to submit abstracts and papers on topics related to lubrication, maintenance, and tribotechnology. Industry suppliers can participate by hiring exhibition space, delivering commercially oriented presentations, or sponsoring the event. The episode also highlights networking events, such as a guided visit to Samlesbury Hall and a heritage steam railway experience at Ribble Steam in Preston Docks, including a ride on a steam-drawn train. These events are complemented by food and drinks, combining professional development with local heritage. Emma and Daniel agree that LUBMAT 2023 is a significant opportunity for professionals in the aerospace industry to engage in technical discussions, foster collaboration, and experience the region's history and culture.
