PETER JOST TRIBOLOGY AWARD
 
The Peter Jost Tribology Award, organized by the International Tribology Council (ITC), is intended to recognize “mid-career” tribologists who show great potential and have already demonstrated exceptional research accomplishment or technological innovation in the field of tribology. This award has been established to honor late Prof. H. Peter Jost whose tireless effort, dedication, and support were responsible for promoting a worldwide appreciation and expansion of tribology. Professor Jost was the founding father of modern-day tribology and the International Tribology Council, which is an umbrella organization for the world tribology community.
