This year’s Forum Acusticum 2026, the annual European Conference on Acoustics and Noise Control Engineering, has now concluded after a highly successful week in Graz. The conference took place from 8 to 12 September and was organized by the Austrian Acoustics Association and the European Acoustics Association (EAA).
IHTA was actively involved in the conference with a wide range of contributions, as well as in the organization and chairing of special sessions, as listed below. Each item links to its entry in the web app, where the corresponding abstract can be found.
The full conference programme remains available on the conference website or in the conference app.
We would like to thank everyone who attended our presentations, visited our posters, and engaged in inspiring discussions with us. It was a great pleasure to contribute to such a successful Forum Acusticum 2026 and to meet so many colleagues from the acoustics community in Graz.
