The International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration (IIAV), the Czech Acoustical Society and the Czech Society for Mechanics are pleased to invite scientists and engineers from all over the world to attend the 27th International Congress on Sound and Vibration (ICSV27) to be held in Prague 12–16 July 2020.

This congress is a leading event in the area of acoustics and vibration and provides an important opportunity for scientists and engineers to share their latest research results and exchange ideas on theories, technologies and applications in these fields. The congress will feature a broad range of high-level technical papers from across the world: distinguished plenary lectures will present recent developments in important topics of sound and vibration and include discussions about future trends.

Prague is an exciting, vibrating and welcoming destination. It’s a city where delegates can enjoy a rich diversity of culture, museums, art galleries, night-life, gastronomy, shopping and sport. Cosmopolitan Prague offers something to suit every delegate!

The year 2020 is the International Year of Sound (IYS 2020), the global initiative, proposed and coordinated by the International Commission on Acoustics (ICA), to highlight the importance of sound and related sciences and technologies for all in society. IYS 2020 refers to the UNESCO "Charter of Sound" n. 39C / 59 and involves the entire international acoustic community to promote best practices in sound during the year of 2020.

IIAV is a founding member of the International Year of Sound (IYS 2020) and ICSV27 is one of the events scheduled for 2020 in the frame of this initiative to stimulate the understanding throughout the world of the wide application of sound in our daily life and to highlight the benefits of sound while controlling the unwanted noise.
