s*The TriboS group Strathclyde is very pleased to be involved in two major grants in Tribology of Renewable Energy Devices. The launch of SPIRE 2 (6.7 m euros) was in Belfast on October 27th 2017. TriboS will be working with the CDT in Wind Energy with SPIRE 2 colleagues in University of Ulster, Queens University and Dundalk Institute of Technology as part of this collaboration which on the Glasgow side involves 5 PhDs and 1 PDRA researchers. The TriboS group is also collaborating in the EPSRC CAMREG (£2.1 m) project with Edinburgh and Cranfield Universities on materials for energy with a specific focus on tidal and wind turbine Tribology and Corrosion. The

**A very succesful conference was held in Leeds University, TriboUK 2016, 14-15th of April, with highlights of the leading edge research carried out in the field of Tribology and Tribo-Corrosion in the UK. This is the annual conference organized and run by young researchers in UK Tribology and they did a wonderful job this year, with very interesting talks and lively discussions. Professors Roger Lewis, Sheffield, Daniele Dini, Imperial College and Margaret Stack gave the keynote talks at the meeting. The conference photo of delegates is below together with a group picture of Professor Duncan Dowson, Leeds, with keynote speakers. It was a great honour to have Professor Dowson present and he presented the student awards at the conference.

*Network members were present at an exciting meeting on Tribo-Corrosion in South Africa; the1st International Workshop on Tribo-Corrosion Techniques was held at the University of Johannesburg in January 2016. Here, further new members of the Tribo-Corrosion Network, to join South Africa, in the Southern African region, were announced by Professor Peter Olubambi, University of Johannesburg, following the conference dinner. South Africa now has one of the most vibrant research groupings in the network, with 5 Universities now involved over the country. The African Tribo-Corrosion network, includes Botswana, Namibia, Nigeria, Ghana as well as South Africa. Further contact details of our new members are given here on our membership map.

* A two day workshop on tribo-corrosion was held at Eurcorr 2004, 12-16 September, 2004, Nice, France. The chair of this working party is Professor Jean-Pierre Celis of KUL, Leuven, Belgium (above). This was the first session on tribo-corrosion at Eurocorr and kickstarted the activities of the new European Federation of Corrosion working party on tribo-corrosion. The tribo-corrosion meeting consisted of one day of keynote talks followed by poster presentations on the second day, with the themes being divided into two areas "tribo-corrosion in industrial systems" and "tribo-corrosion in living systems". The meeting was characterized by a lively and friendly atmosphere with papers on a variety of topics from fretting -corrosion of dental implant materials to sliding wear of artificial hip joints. A meeting of the COST action on tribology of bio-materials also took place after the first evening session. The highlight of the conference was the banquet at a restaurant on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice. The papers from the meeting will be published as a special issue of Wear in 2005.

* The Tony Ball memorial session was held at the 8th South African International Conference on Tribology , Pretoria, South Africa, March 24th-27th 2004. This sesssion, which included many of Tony's former colleagues and students, commerated his contributions to research in the field of particulate erosion and abrasion. Tony was one of the founder members of the Tribo-Corrosion network and was noted for his fun and joie de vivre as well as his mentorship of younger members in the field. Speakers at the conference in Pretoria in March are pictured above, along with the conference chairman Professor Philip de Vaal of the University of Pretoria (far right) and Dr Kashif Marcus (centre) who leads the tribology research group at the University of Cape Town. The papers from the Tony Ball memorial symposium will be published as a special issue of Tribology International in August 2005.

*Our meeting held on March 11th 2004, in London, was organized jointly with the Tribology Group of the Institute of Physics. The title of the meeting was "Mapping Tribo-Corrosion: From Wear Maps to Pourbaix Diagrams". This was a stimulating meeting on the latest research developments in mapping tribological processes.

*Micro-abrasion is currently a "hot topic" in tribology and a recent meeting was held in this subject area to reflect the increasing interest in the subject and the potential interactions between micro-abrasion processes and corrosion. This meeting on Micro-Abrasion-Corrosion was held on November 21st 2003 at NPL, Teddington, Middlesex and attracted a great deal of interest, particularly from the healthcare community where micro-abrasion of artificial implants is an important issue. It was run jointly with the UK Forum on Friction and Wear testing and was organized by Andrew Gant andrew.gant@npl.co.uk .
