Dear colleagues,
I have the pleasure to invite you to the
6th International BAPT Conference “Power Transmissions 2019”
19-22 June 2019, Varna, Bulgaria
which is organized by the Balkan Association of Power Transmissions and the Scientific Technical Union of Mechanical Engineering (Bulgaria).

By this conference, we are putting an end to a cycle which was started with the foundation of BAPT in 2001 in Sofia, followed by the first conference in Varna in 2003 and the subsequent conferences in Novi Sad 2006, Kallithea 2009, Sinaia 2012, Ohrid 2016 and now again near Varna in 2019. I don’t know any participants in a number of these conferences who can tell which was the best one. Each conference had its unique charm, both in terms of venue and warmth of the hosts, and in terms of participants and high-quality papers.

I hope that this conference will bring together both founders and regular participants (headed by the initiator, founder, first president, and now the Honor President of BAPT Prof. Dr.- Eng. Kiril Arnaudov), and new (young both at age and at heart) participants as well in order to share our achievements and ideas for the development of power transmissions, to discuss the possibilities for joint projects, and to start a new and even more successful cycle of conferences under the auspices of BAPT.

We look forward to your papers, and your attendance, and on behalf of the Organizing Committee I promise to do our best to leave you with unforgettable memories.

Dr. Eng. Dimitar Karaivanov
President of BAPT
