BAPT 2025 Conference
International Scientific Conference
BAPT 2025 – Power Transmissions
MD-Lab organized the 10th International BAPT Conference on Power Transmissions, held at the Eugenides Foundation in Athens from 9 to 11 July 2025. The conference brought together researchers, engineers and students working on modern mechanical transmission systems and machine design.
About BAPT 2025
BAPT 2025 continued the international conference series of the Balkan Association of Power Transmissions, creating a forum for research exchange on mechanical power transmissions, drivetrain components, modeling tools and emerging design methods.
The Athens edition was organized under the auspices of the National Technical University of Athens, with the Eugenides Foundation hosting the conference and CONVIN supporting the professional organization.
MD-Lab role: Prof. Dr. Vasilios Spitas, Director of MD-Lab and BAPT President, led the local scientific and organizational effort together with the laboratory team.
