Institute of Physics (IOP)

The Anglo-French Physical Acoustics Conference (AFPAC) is an in-person event, and organised by the IOP Physical Acoustics Group, Le Groupe d’Acoustique Physique and the Sous-marine et UltraSonore (GAPSUS) of the Société Française d’Acoustique (SFA). AFPAC provides a forum to explore and share cutting-edge research in physical acoustics and ultrasonics. With its deliberately broad scope, the conference fosters interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation across diverse applications. Conference topics include (but are not limited to): theoretical developments (all methods); experimental measurements; transduction; linear or nonlinear elastic or acoustic (bulk, surface, guided) wave radiation, propagation, scattering and reception; application to material characterisation, biomedical ultrasound, imaging (non-destructive testing, medical, underwater, seismology), SAW in electronic devices. This conference would be of particular interest to IOP special interest groups: Biological Physics Group, Materials and Characterisation Group, Mathematical and Theoretical Physics Group, Medical Physics Group, Optical Group, Physical Acoustics Group, Women in Physics Group, but all are welcome.

The UK Acoustics Network

This symposium aims to explore the latest advances in key areas of acoustics, sensors, acoustofluidics, ultrasonics, vibration, noise. It also aims to discuss the grand noise challenges in the UK, with a focus on potential opportunities and solutions facilitated by micro-acoustic sensors/actuators and other innovative technologies. The applications will be focused on engineering, healthcare, and sustainability, with participants and audience from academics, researchers, students, industry and other stakeholders. Sessions will include keynote talks, technical presentations and demonstrations, and poster sessions, with great opportunities for networking and collaboration, as well as practical experience.

The many advances in the field of underwater acoustics since then make it appropriate to hold another international conference to discuss the latest research and applications.
