The Malaysian International Tribology Conference 2013 (MITC2013) was organized in joint co-operation by the Malaysian Tribology Society (MYTRIBOS) and the Institute of Mechanical & Technology Advancement (i-META), which took place in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia on November 18-20, 2013.

The objective of  MITC2013 is for scientists, scholars, engineers and students from universities, research institutions and industries all around the world to present findings of ongoing research activities, and foster research collaborations between universities and the industry. This conference provides opportunities for delegates to exchange new ideas and application experiences face to face, to establish business or research relations and to find global partners for future collaboration.

TriPreM’s head of i-Kohza, Dr Prof Kanao Fukuda and TriPreM’s post-graduate student, Mr Zaid Ali Subhi, both presented their papers in this conference. Shortly after the conference, Prof Fukuda chaired a special session, the 2nd Malaysia-Japan Tribology Meeting.
