For its 15 years of existence the Balkan Tribological Association has to draw up the balance sheet of achievements and traces left behind its activities. The role and place of tribology in the modern world has only just been revealed: based on its interdisciplinarity nature, namely tribology to be a great actor in the building of sustainable society, staking on knowledge, industry, education and public understanding.
The scope of this conference embraces the state of art and future trends in tribology research and application, emphasizing the necessity of facilitation intellectual collaboration across both disciplinary and national boundaries of in the Balkan region and worldwide.
Previous BALKANTRIB Conferences were held in Sofia, Bulgaria (1993), Thessaloniki, Greece (1996), Sinaia, Romania (1999), Kayseri, Turkey (2002), Kragujevac, Serbia (2005). The three years chair of the Balkan Tribological Association is now in Serbia; the organizer of the Conference BALKANTRIB’08 is Bulgaria.
