International Commission for Acoustics

The purpose of the International Commission for Acoustics (ICA) is to promote international development and collaboration in all fields of acoustics including research, development, education, and standardisation.[1]

The ICA is a Scientific Associate of the International Council for Science (ICSU),[2] an Affiliated Commission of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP),[3] and an Affiliated Organization of the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (IUTAM).[4]

The ICA has a membership of over 40 national acoustical societies,[5] and has affiliate members including the European Acoustics Association (EAA), the IberoAmerican Federation of Acoustics (FIA), the International Institute of Noise Control Engineering (I-INCE), the International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration (IIAV), the Western Pacific Acoustics Commission (WESPAC) and the International Congress on Ultrasonics (ICU).

The ICA convenes the triennial International Congresses on Acoustics, sponsors specialty symposia in acoustics, and coordinates the main international meetings within acoustics.
