International Conference on Gears 2025: Call for Papers is open, now it's your turn

Submission of your abstract – topic areas

We would like to invite and encourage you to contribute an abstract and show improvements in the field of gears and transmissions, e.g. how gears can contribute to increasing energy efficiency, reducing resource consumption and how new technologies are incorporated in the powertrain.

Don´t miss out on being part of this unique meeting point for equipment manufacturers, experts and researchers of gear and transmission systems and present your new solutions, latest research results and technical ideas.
 

Hand in your abstract covering related topics such as:

• Design, simulation and analysis of gears and transmissions
• Industrial applications, e.g. transmissions for energy systems, for mobility systems, etc.
• Test methods and/or procedures for endurance, efficiency and noise behavior
• Materials, lubrication and tribology
• Manufacturing, e.g. productivity increase with new concepts for machine and manufacturing processes, reduction of machining and production time, balancing of productivity and flexibility
• Sustainable gears: Resource efficiency, power efficiency, circular economy
• Gear design and manufacturing in context of digitalization
• Potentials and challenges of high performance plastic gears
• Smart gears: Sensor integration, condition monitoring, application of AI

For a full list of conference topics, please download the Call for Papers. It´ll be available shortly or sent an email to
Mrs. Koerber.

Be part of the most important international conference in the field of gears and transmission in 2025 to meet, share ideas and learn together.

Submit your abstract now. The deadline for abstract submission is November 22nd, 2024

Publication of accepted abstracts (oral presentation and poster presentation):

If your contribution (presentation or poster) is accepted, you will need to prepare a manuscript for the conference proceedings. The manuscript should summarize the key points of your submission and will be included in our conference publication. The proceedings will be published as an eBook (VDI-Bericht) with an ISBN.

Authors opting for peer review:If your full paper meets all the requirements for publication in a scientific journal, you can voluntarily submit it to the Springer-Nature Journal “Engineering Research” (Q2, http://www.springer.com/journal/10010). The paper is then reviewed by international experts and, if successful, invited for publication within the collection “Best of Gears 2025”. The publication must be open-access. In the event of rejection by the reviewers, the paper will be included conference proceedings eBook (VDI-Bericht). Participation in the peer review process is voluntary. If the authors wish to submit their full paper to the journal “Engineering Research”, this must be indicated in the abstract.
