Discover the EAA Technical Committees

The EAA Technical Committees (TCs) are the scientific engine of the European Acoustics Association. Each TC brings together researchers, professionals, and students working within a specific field of acoustics, creating active communities where knowledge is shared and new ideas take shape.

The EAA Technical Committees are:

  • Computational Acoustics
  • Musical Acoustics
  • Noise
  • Psychological and Physiological Acoustics (PPA)
  • Room & Building Acoustics
  • Audio Signal Processing
  • Ultrasounds
  • Acoustic Materials
  • Education
  • Underwater Acoustics

The TCs play a central role in the scientific life of the EAA.
They organise sessions at EAA conferences, contribute to the EAA Summer Schools, launch studies and initiatives within their domain, prepare strategy documents and state-of-the-art reviews, and propose special issues for Acta Acustica. Many of the EAA’s activities and scientific outputs originate directly from the work of the TCs.

Joining a Technical Committee means becoming part of a collaborative European network. It is an opportunity to exchange ideas, meet colleagues across Europe, contribute expertise, and take an active role in shaping the future of acoustics. TCs are open to motivated members at all career stages, from early-career researchers to established specialists.

Membership is simple: each TC page on the EAA website includes a description, recent activities, and the contact details of the Chairs, who welcome expressions of interest.

Acta Acustica: Diamond Open Access and Growing Impact

Acta Acustica, the journal of the European Acoustics Association, continues to foster collaboration within the global acoustics community. Since 2020, submissions have increased steadily, particularly for subdiscipline-specific special issues. Downloads in 2024 doubled compared with 2023, reflecting the relevance and quality of the research being published.

Since January 2025, Acta Acustica has adopted a Diamond Open Access model, allowing authors to publish their work completely free of charge. This ensures equitable access while maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity.

Researchers are invited to take advantage of this opportunity to share their work with a growing, engaged audience. The journal’s latest Editorial (Acta Acustica, June 4th 2025) provides further insights into the benefits of Diamond Open Access and the journal’s expanding reach.
