STLE is seeking student posters for the 2027 Annual Meeting & Exhibition in Chicago, IL. 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.
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 4.
