The ICTMP 2026 conference will take place from July 22 to 24, 2026, at the Arnoma Grand Bangkok. It is organized by the International Research Group of Tribology in Manufacturing (IRGTM) in collaboration with the Thai Tribology Association (TTA), the National Metal and Materials Technology Center (MTEC), King Mongkut&#8217;s University of Technology North Bangkok (KMUTNB), and King Mongkut\u2019s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT). This conference will focus on the latest research, methodologies, and technologies in the field, making it an excellent platform for networking and collaboration.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Scope<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><b>Advanced Lubricants and Lubrication Techniques:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span
