Forum Acusticum Euronoise 2025 (FA25), the 11th EAA Annual European Conference on Acoustics and Noise Control Engineering organised by the Spanish Acoustical Society, will be held in Malaga (Spain), from June 23rdto 26th, 2025.
Forum Acusticum is an annual international convention coordinated by a national acoustical society on behalf of the European Acoustics Association (EAA). The Congress will be a world leading event in the different areas of acoustics and a great opportunity for participants to meet in person, to expand their knowledge, and to share new techniques and competences, in the wide range of topics and interests that acoustics nowadays addresses both in our community, and for society.
As organizers of the Main Theme “A21:Product Sound Quality & Sound-driven Design”, let us draw your attention to the set of sessions considered in our theme, which can be found through https://www.fa-euronoise2025.org/structured-sessions-2. Given your expertise in this area, we would like to cordially invite you to submit a paper to any of these sessions. Please, select the General session in case of the other proposed sessions are not adequate for the topic of your paper, but the main theme is appropriate.
Our goal is to establish and spread a design culture on sound and listening. Sound-driven design represents a shift from ‘designing sound’, as an object to be designed, towards ‘designing for listening experience’. We consider listening as a design element that can offer granularity to the design process and that highlights human-centered qualities of the sound-driven design space, as well as the role of the senses in the experience of the sound quality of products and systems. We feel the urgency to fill the gap with the real-world practice, which is consolidating and already tackling the wicked problems of creating or improving our listening experience of products, media, cinema, video games, appliances and environments at large. Our theme focusses on three main areas of interest: Applied sound-driven design (A-21-01); Listening experience in sound-driven design (A-21-02); Methodologies for sound-driven design and education.
Papers can be submitted for oral or poster presentation through the Forum Acusticum Euronoise 2025 website: https://www.fa-euronoise2025.org.
Submission deadline for abstracts not longer than 200 words is January 19th, 2025, while papers need to be submitted by March 23rd, 2025, in case of abstract acceptance.
Thank you in advance for your kind consideration, and if you have any questions do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to seeing you in Malaga next June!
Sincerely,
