Asia International Conference on Tribology (ASIATRIB) is a grand international event under the auspices of the Asian Tribology Council (ATC), the union of the national tribology societies/institutions of Asia-Pacific countries such as China, Japan, Korea, India, Australia, Malaysia and others. The conference is held every four years with the involvement of scientists and engineers from both academia and industry. The 6th ASIATRIB was held from September 17 to 20, 2018 in Kuching, Sarawak Malaysia. The 7th ASIATRIB was planned to be held in September 2022 in Beijing, China, which was postponed because of the epidemic.

China International Conference on Tribology (CICT) is under the auspices of the Chinese Tribology Institution. CICT is also a mega international event and attracts broad participation of scientists and engineers from universities and the industry all around the world. Since 1993, the CICT has been successfully held for 8 times, including 1st (Beijing, 1993), 2nd (Beijing, 1998), 3rd (Beijing, 2001), 4th (Xi'an, 2004), 5th (Beijing, 2008), 6th (Lanzhou, 2011), 7th (Xuzhou, 2014), and 8th (Beijing, 2017, with the WTC 2017 held at the same time).
