The British Gear Association (BGA) is proud to host our Eurotrans partners for their June board meeting at our home at Newcastle University on 11th and 12th June.


The upcoming Eurotrans board meeting at Newcastle University promises to be a valuable event for everyone involved. It highlights the importance of collaboration, innovation, and sustainability in engineering.


This gathering will not only foster productive discussions but also inspire future partnerships that contribute to the growth and development of the gear and transmission sectors.



Strengthening International Partnerships


For the British Gear Association, engaging with international partners like Eurotrans is essential. The gear and transmission industry depends on shared knowledge and collaboration to drive progress. By hosting this meeting, BGA strengthens its connections and ensures that UK interests remain well represented on the global stage.


Building these relationships opens doors to new ideas and solutions that benefit all parties involved. It also supports the exchange of best practices and encourages joint projects that push the boundaries of engineering.


Why Newcastle is the Ideal Venue


Our home in Newcastle is the perfect location. The city has a long history of engineering excellence, dating back centuries, and continues to evolve with modern technology and infrastructure. This blend of tradition and progress creates an environment that encourages meaningful discussions and partnerships.


Newcastle also aligns with Eurotrans’s commitment to sustainability. The local government has set ambitious goals to reduce carbon emissions by 50% by 2030. This focus on sustainable development complements the engineering community’s efforts to create greener technologies and processes.


The city’s vibrant atmosphere and strong engineering culture make it a fitting backdrop for the meeting. Attendees will experience a place where innovation thrives alongside a respect for heritage.



A Tour of the Design Unit Facility


In addition to the Board Meeting we will be taking our European guests for a tour of the state of the art Design Unit facility.


Headed up by Professor Brian Shaw the Design Unit at Newcastle University specialises in design, development, and consultancy services tailored to industrial engineering clients worldwide. Their projects have made a tangible impact on industries that rely heavily on precision and innovation.


Our visitors will see how the Design Unit combines practical engineering with creative problem-solving. The facility uses modern tools and techniques to develop solutions that meet real-world challenges. This hands-on approach benefits both the University and its industry partners by fostering knowledge exchange and collaboration.


The event is a clear example of how local expertise and international cooperation can come together to create lasting impact in engineering.
