ICA Sponsorship of Specialty Symposia in Acoustics

The International Commission for Acoustics (ICA) will consider requests for sponsorship of Specialty Conferences in Acoustics. The ICA-sponsored conferences are normally limited to a specialized topic with an anticipated small attendance typically no more than 300. Support for specialist regional meetings or national meetings, especially in developing regions, will be encouraged but only be considered if the conference has an international character.

Meetings sponsored by organisations that are members of ICA can apply for a Grant of up to 1500 Euros. This amount of financial support is mainly provided by ICA to pay some travel expenses for Distinguished Speakers, Young Scientists and especially for Scientists from Developing Countries. Organizers are encouraged to obtain additional funding from other sources.

In the case of larger more general Conference, a grant can be obtained from IUPAP, the International Union For Pure and Applied Physics.
