STLE is seeking student and early career posters for the 2024 Annual Meeting & Exhibition in Minneapolis, Minn. Event organizers are inviting students and early career professionals from all areas of tribology research to participate in a special session dedicated to student and early career 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. For student posters, 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.
*Please note students and early career professionals must be registered to attend the 2024 Annual Meeting to participate in the poster session.
