The 28th International Congress on Sound and Vibration (ICSV28)

Singapore will host the 28th International Congress on Sound and Vibration during July 24-28, 2022.

International Congress on Sound and Vibration (ICSV) is an annual premier event led by International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration (IIAV). This congress combines all aspects of acoustics, noise and vibration. The Society of Acoustics (Singapore), or SAS in short, is proud to join hands with IIAV in organising the ICSV 28 in Singapore. The area of sound and vibration is very relevant to the unique setting of Singapore where people live in the proximity to roads, railway and airport. Sound and vibrations resulting from construction works including housing renovations is an ongoing study in Singapore as it has critical impact on human life. Hence the importance of this conference to Singapore needs no further explanation. There will be presentations by researchers across many different fields of acoustics and vibration, special sessions on emerging research and technologies organized by experts in those areas, along with sessions and topics focused on local needs and scenarios. We strongly encourage experts to propose and organise such special sessions that would help in furthering research and innovations in the field of acoustics and vibration. The conference will be held at the iconic Sands Expo and Convention Centre, and is expected to attract many international delegates and exhibitors from related industries.

In the light of ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we are proposing ICSV 28 to be a hybrid congress; a mix of in-person and virtual participation. As the vaccination against COVID-19 progresses in many countries we are hoping that a good number of participants will be able to travel and participate in-person. The virtual component of the conference would help delegates who are unable to travel to engage with the conference and present their research contributions as pre-recorded videos.

One of the safest countries in the world, Singapore is also the best illustration of how people of different religious faiths can co-exist in peace and harmony. A Garden City state littered with lush green vegetation in an urban setting, a world- class airport, efficient transportation system, mouth-watering international cuisines and ease of communication in English makes it a very special place for all visitors. So, besides participating in the conference, it is also important for delegates to take the opportunity to explore, understand and experience the unique cultures of Singapore. Time and environment permitting, this is also a great opportunity for visiting many neighbouring countries – such as Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Indonesia – which are all under 3 hours’ flight away from Singapore.

We look forward to welcoming all of you to Singapore for an exciting conference.
