We are pleased to announce the 10th International Tribology Conference, Himeji 2027 (ITC Himeji 2027).
Organized by the Japanese Society of Tribologists, this conference series began in Tokyo in 1985 and has since traveled to Nagoya (1990), Yokohama (1995), Nagasaki (2000), Kobe (2005), Hiroshima (2011), Tokyo (2015), and Sendai (2019). While the conference is typically held every four years, the period between 2019 and 2023 presented unprecedented challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our most recent gathering in Fukuoka (2023) was a landmark event, welcoming nearly 1,000 participants - half of whom joined us from around the globe - marking a joyful and long-awaited reunion for our community. We were truly delighted to meet each other again in person.
The scope of ITC Himeji 2027 covers all areas of science and technology related to tribology. The slogan of this conference is "Borderless Tribology." Tribology itself stands at the boundaries between many scientific disciplines, such as mechanical engineering and materials science, or physics and chemistry. Because of this interdisciplinary nature, tribology has contributed greatly to solving environmental problems through the control of friction and wear. The tribology community has also traditionally maintained close connections between basic and applied science, as well as among industry, government, and academia, with relatively low barriers between them. Furthermore, with the rapid emergence of data science, the boundary between experiments and computer simulations is becoming increasingly ambiguous. Although recent political crises have once again emphasized national borders and divisions, for tribologists there should be no borders in science. Through this conference, we hope to deepen discussions in tribology and elevate our field to an even higher level.
