NEXTLUB – 1st International Conference on Tribology and Sustainable Lubrication

Increasing sustainability, ecological, and geopolitical demands create new challenges for tribologists and lubrication experts. Along with the well-known premium attributes of lubricants and tribological systems, these non-technical functionalities generate new technological requirements. The goal of the 1st International Conference on Tribology and Sustainable Lubrication – NEXTLUB, is to promote suitable innovative technologies and close knowledge gaps.

April 18 - 19, 2023 
Maritim Hotel, Düsseldorf, Germany 

The conference is organized by FVAGfT, and UNITI and focuses on the following topics: 

  • Environmentally-friendly lubricants
  • Renewable and recycled raw materials 
  • Re-refined base oils 
  • Bio-lubricants 
  • Lubricant digital twins 
  • Inline & offline condition monitoring 
  • End-of-life treatment 
  • Life cycle analysis (LCA) 
  • Long-life/extended drains 
  • Energy efficiency – measurement, scaling, simulation 
  • Superlubricity, minimized friction 
  • Materials & coatings for improved lubrication 
  • Material efficiency & resource conservation through wear protection 
  • Maintenance, repair, and recycling 
  • Lubricants in electric drivetrains 
  • Thermal properties of lubricating fluids 
  • Electrical and electromagnetic properties of fluids
