Forum Acusticum 2023 (11-15 Sept. 2023, Torino, Italy)
The Italian Acoustical Association is pleased to invite you in Torino (Italy) to attend Forum Acusticum 2023, the 10th Convention of the European Acoustics Association, from the 11th to the 15th of September 2023.
Forum Acusticum 2023 will be hosted at the Politecnico di Torino, in a renovated area of the campus with new and well-equipped rooms. The Congress will be a world leading event in the areas of acoustics and vibration and a great opportunity for participants to increase their knowledge, to share new techniques and competences, in the wide range of acoustics nowadays addressed in the community. A very attractive technical program will be ensured, with 5 keynote lectures, several technical visits and invited and contributed papers, which address all the subjects of acoustics, from basic research to applied topics. In addition, social programs, tours, and a jam session have been planned for participants and accompanying persons, which will enjoy the Turin’s culture and the beauties of the Piedmont region.

The Noisella Short Stories:
cartoons for getting in touch with acoustics themes
The Noisella Short Stories consists of 11 cartoons for children, divided into 2 series, and regarding basic theory of sound and noise effects and tips for living in good soundscapes.
The project aims to raise awareness on noise and its effects as well as to educate children and adults to listen good and positive sounds as a part of the everyday life soundscapes. It is supported by HEAD-Genuit Stiftung and produced in collaboration with Vie en.ro.se. Ingegneria. The material is distributed and broadcasted on the YouTube official channel “The Noisella's Adventures”.
The characters of the cartons are Noisella, the star of the series who has been created more than 10 years ago for the Italian Noise Awareness Day, her cat Marisa, and her two friends.
Noisella is a curious child who like creating commotion and discovering new sounds.
Together with her faithful kitty Marisa, she helps her friends to learn basic acoustics by experience, visiting together many places and listening to many different pleasant and unpleasant sounds.
At the following links you can watch the two series of “The Noisella Short Stories”:
