The Institute of Solid State Physics is organising an international conference “The Second European Workshop on Understanding and Controlling Nano and Mesoscale Friction” on July 4-7, 2016 in Riga within the framework of COST action MP1303.

This scientific network of participants comprises a very broad range of scientists, as the aim is to fill in the gaps between different scales of the friction problem. This problem is centuries old but without a complete solution yet. This network of scientist is extremely valuable for different industry branches from high tech. electronics to novel automotive technologies, from civil engineering to medical applications.
