Selection criteria

Each applicant is evaluated by several academic staff from the partner universities based on the Selection criteria defined by the TRIBOS+ Consortium. Uniform guidelines are used by all evaluators to guarantee objective selection.

The selection criteria and relative grading are as follows:

• Criterion 1: Academic education, 50%
• Criterion 2: Language skills, 20%

The key academic groups of TRIBOS consortium are leading and world renown in their own field of Tribology and Surface engineering. They are very complementary from point of view of surfaces, lubricants and interfaces, as well as engineering component design. Thus, their involvement in a single programme enables integration of the whole range of tribology sub-areas required for successful application solutions.
