Theme Related Sessions

Special emphasis will be placed on emerging areas of noise control for the next 50 years. Topics may include:

• Artificial intelligence and machine learning for noise control or background minimization for improved tele-commuting
• Acoustic metamaterials and cloaking
• Influence of high-performance and quantum computing on noise control
• Psychoacoustics and neuroscience
• UAVs and the future urban soundscape, etc.

Plenary and Keynote Lectures

These will feature speakers from inside and outside the noise control community, with special focus on how emerging technologies might transform their specialties over the next 50 years.

50th Congress Special Events

Special sessions or events will be held to mark the 50 years of progress in noise control since the first inter·noise Congress in 1972, but also to look forward and speculate on what could be achieved in the next 50 years. Materials will be prepared that celebrate the 50 years of inter·noise Congresses and the International Institute of Noise Control, provide some thoughts on successes and continuing challenges, and some speculations on how advances in technology, as well as health, societal and environmental issues will affect global noise control in the future.

Special Pan American Symposia (one day event)

“A great hosting and networking opportunity, likely to be a game changer for Latin America”
– Davi Akkerman (Congress Co-President)

• Environmental noise management for planning quieter cities in developing countries
• Acoustic comfort in buildings: International reality for standardization of performance parameters
• Contact email: gerencia@proacustica.org.br

Exhibition & Sponsorship

• The exposition (with space for up to 100 booths) will enable companies or organizations to display the latest in technology and services in the areas of noise control, acoustics and relevant fields during the Congress. The exposition will be the focal point for the Exposition Opening Reception and coffee and refreshments during daily breaks in the schedule of technical presentations.
• It is an unique opportunity to be a sponsor and have your organization’s name prominently displayed via congress website and program, and during special events or receptions.
• Contact emails:
  Sponsorship: expo@internoise2021.org or ibo@inceince.org
  Exhibition: expo@internoise2021.org

Students/Young Professionals

• The I-INCE has allocated 20 grant awards (600 EUR each) to facilitate the travel of young professionals; for details go to:

• Noise Control Practice School is planned for young professionals on Sunday before the Congress opens
• Student volunteers to assist the technical sessions and special events

Social Programs

• Several receptions are planned, for example after the opening and closing ceremonies
• Accompanying persons program, events and tours will be arranged
• Technical and sightseeing tours to be arranged
