STLE is seeking student posters for the 2026 Annual Meeting & Exhibition in New Orleans, LA. Event organizers are inviting students from all areas of tribology research to participate in a special session dedicated to student posters. Posters must deal with an aspect of tribology research that can be translated into friction, wear, and lubrication. Poster research topics can be co-authored by faculty and other researchers. Only students may exhibit their posters and discuss their work at the session. The posters will be judged by a conference committee, and awards will be given to the best posters.
Note: The Board of Directors has approved the renaming of the student poster presentation competition to the Robert Erck Presentation Award.
The deadline for student poster submissions has now passed
Award Categories (*three winners in each category)
- Platinum: superior scientific and presentation quality ($300 prize)
- Gold: good technical quality ($200 prize)
- Silver: overall quality worthy to be encouraged ($100 prize)
*Winners will be announced during the President’s Luncheon on Tuesday, May 19.
