With 58 attendees, the 47th Scandinavian Symposium on Physical Acoustics was conducted successfully this year (28–31 January 2024). Eight presentations by students studying acoustics in addition to thirty-one presentations occur in three full days. The presentations covered a wide range of subjects, including transducer technology, underwater acoustics, acoustic non-destructive testing, and medical ultrasound imaging since this year’s theme was focused on physical acoustics, with an emphasis on ultrasound, marine acoustics, nonlinear acoustics, and sound propagation in general, with applications in technology, medicine, fisheries, environmental monitoring, and defense.
The main purpose of these symposia is to strengthen contacts and exchange information between acoustics groups in Scandinavia. The symposium was held in English, and non-Scandinavian participants were also welcomed!
