Forum Acusticum 2026 – Graz, Austria

The next Forum Acusticum will take place from 6 to 12 September 2026 in Graz, Austria. The conference will be hosted at the Stadthalle Graz | Messe Congress Graz, a modern venue in the heart of the city, offering generous exhibition and poster spaces, excellent facilities for parallel and plenary sessions, and easy access to public transport.

Graz, Austria’s second largest city with around 300,000 inhabitants, is known for its well-preserved medieval town centre, its blend of architectural styles, and landmarks such as the Uhrturm on Schlossberg hill. A UNESCO World Heritage site since 2009 and a UNESCO City of Design since 2011, Graz combines cultural richness with a vibrant academic environment. With six universities and about one fifth of its residents connected to academia, Graz provides an ideal setting for Forum Acusticum.
