Conference Venue 

Vienna, the capital of Austria, is located in the 

heart of Europe. The city with its historical and 

cultural highlights as well as the Viennese 

hospitality enthuse millions of tourists 

every year. A couple of centuries 

Vienna was the residence 

of the Habsburg dynasty and since that 

time Vienna has a great diversity of magnificent 

historical buildings, churches and parks. 

Italy 

Slovenia 

Today, Vienna and the Vienna Region also offer you modern 

architecture, a cluster of high tech industries, renowned education and research 

institutions as well as globally playing economic and political organisations. 

The greater part of the conference will take place in the building of 

The Austrian Chamber of Commerce 

Wiedner Hauptstraße 63

Conference Venue – Tour of the Labs / Excursion 

South of Vienna, just about 45 km from the Vienna City Centre, a traditional industrial 

zone is located in and around the city of Wiener Neustadt. Following activities that were 

started about 20 years ago, a “Foundation Centre” was recently established for the fields 

of education, research and industrial production. This area, named “Civitas Nova” (New 

City) is located near the local civil airport and a number of industrial plants such as 

Diamond aircraft. 

The development of this region is part of the provincial “Technopole Programme” which 

supported the foundation of several research institutions “under one roof”, the “TFZ” 

(Technology and Research Centre). Educational activities have been boosted by the 

foundation of the Universitiy of Applied Sciences Wiener Neustadt, one of Austria’s most 

important Universities of Applied Sciences. In autumn 2010 – a special Master course 

on Surface Engineering and Tribology was created. 

Thanks to the institutions under the roof of “TFZ”, ECOTRIB’s Thursday programme will 

be staged there:

Viktor-Kaplan-Strasse 2 

2700 Wiener Neustadt 

Austria 

http://www.tfz-wienerneustadt.at/ecoplus/technopole/tfz/e/default.asp 

It is scheduled to visit three of those institutions with core relations to tribology, viz 

the “Excellence Centre of Tribology” – AC²T research GmbH, CEST – Austrian 

Competence Centre for Electrochemical Surface Technology, and ofi – Austrian 

Research Institute for Chemistry and Technology. How to get there, please check, 

e.g., http://www.ac2t.at/html/english/e-drivingmap.html . Information signs on the roads 

indicate destinations close by, such as “RIZ”, “FH Wiener Neustadt”, or “Arena nova”. 

For registered participants of ECOTRIB / Viennano there will be a free shuttle bus 

available that will take you from Vienna to Wiener Neustadt and back to either Vienna or to 

Vienna Airport (Schwechat). 

TFZ Wiener Neustadt



The research institutions to be visited 

� “Excellence Centre of Tribology” – AC²T research GmbH 

AC²T – founded in 2002 on the occasion of the Austrian Competence Centre Initiative 

(Kplus) – is one of the largest privately organised institutions solely devoted to tribology 

in research and industrial R&D services. More than 100 employees and a number of 

consultants (mainly affiliated with scientific partners) are working in core fields of 

tribology. Interdisciplinarity in theoretical and experimental work is highly realised, for 

scientists, engineers, and technicians with expertise in the “mother disciplines” of 

tribology are available on site in a well balanced number (www.ac2t.at ). 

The AC²T-team could successfully place a sustainable project named “XTribology” within 

the frame of the actual Austrian initiative for Excellence Centres (COMET). Roughly 

60 millions EUR are the overall budget frame for this umbrella project only for 5 years 

(2010 – 2015). Right now AC²T is expanding its activities to the full implementation of 

XTribology which will lead to enlargement of the team, the equipment, and the facilities. 

� CEST – Competence Centre for Electrochemical Surface Technology 

CEST is an Austrian competence centre for electrochemical surface technology which 

acts as an innovation generator and active interface between academia and industry. 

CEST took over as the successor of ECHEM (center of competence in applied 

electrochemistry) under the COMET programme in 2008. About 60 scientist, technicians 

and administrative staff members are working with CEST, major part of them at the 

location TFZ (http://www.cest-chemistry.com/). 

One specific research focus is devoted to “Functional Layers”, which are typically 

produced by galvanic processes. But they are also made by alloy deposition, inclusion of 

particles or direct deposition on structured layers, whose physical and chemical 

properties of hardness and robustness are improved by particle inclusion to the benefit 

of commercial products, like wear-resistant gold layers on watches and jewellery. In-situ 

studies show the deposition and dissolution of layers as well as the corrosion behaviour 

of surfaces. Micro- and nanometer electrodes enhance technical imaging of, for instance, 

polycrystalline and heterogeneous surfaces. 

� ofi – Austrian Research Institute for Chemistry and Technology 

ofi has been the competent service partner for Austrian and European small, medium 

and large-scale companies. ofi supports innovation through research and development, 

testing and analysis, maintaining quality levels and certification. 

In the past years, newly added research capacity has made ofi to one of the leading 

creative powerhouses in Austria, providing practice-oriented solutions by maintaining a 

close relation with clients, business partners, and universities. The fully integrated 

project management services include idea engineering, acquisition of public funds 

and product market launch. The results are new or enhanced products, processes and 

services with inherent market potential. 

At the TFZ site, a staff of about 45 scientists have recently implemented a specific field 

of competence that deals with functional surfaces affected by environment or due 

to physical, chemical, mechanical and biological exposure. ofi has the means and 

knowledge to provide precise characterizations of various surfaces and to track down 

the causes of possible changes (http://www.ofi.at/english/index.php/surfacetechnology.html 

).

Cocktail Reception – Vienna City Hall

Following the tradition already arranged for other international tribology congresses in 

Vienna (like the 2 nd World Tribology Congress – WTC 2001), the participants of the 

ECOTRIB / Viennano Conference and their partners are invited by the Lord Major of 

Vienna and the Austrian Tribology Society to take part in the Cocktail Reception on 

Wednesday, 08 June 2011, evening. 

This social event will take place in the
