International Conference on Gears 2025 - Call for Abstracts now open!

This is the online portal for submitting contributions for the International Conference on Gear 2025, held in Garching, Munich at the Gear Research Centre (FZG) of the Technical University of Munich from September 10th to 12th, 2025. During the submission process you have to create an account. With this account you can log in later to edit your abstract or change your personal data.

Share your knowlege - Hand in your abstract until November 22 2024 December 13, 2024 (extended deadline)!

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
