Exciting Lectures and Modern Measurement Technology
This year, the conference is dedicated to a variety of highly topical acoustic issues. The program includes practical specialist lectures on the increasingly important areas of wind power and noise, as well as vehicle sounds. Furthermore, experts will provide insights into the functioning of state-of-the-art hearing implants. Another highlight of the event is the presentation of a novel test stand for fans, which was developed and is used directly at the university. The lecture program is accompanied by various specialized companies presenting their latest developments in the field of acoustic measurement technology on-site.
Insights into the University’s Laboratories
Following the theoretical specialist lectures, visitors will have the opportunity to experience science firsthand. During guided laboratory tours, the doors to special acoustic facilities at EAH Jena will open, such as the hemi-anechoic chamber. These special rooms absorb sound almost completely and allow for precise measurements under free-field conditions – a central element of acoustic research in the science hub of Jena.
It is no coincidence that the 21. Akustik-Tag at EAH Jena falls exactly on April 29. This date marks the international “Tag gegen Lärm” (International Noise Awareness Day). This global day of action annually draws attention to the increasing acoustic burden in everyday life and its serious effects on health. Chronic noise, such as from heavy road traffic, wind turbines, or industrial processes, is considered a significant stress factor that can promote cardiovascular diseases in the long term. The Ernst-Abbe-Hochschule (EAH) Jena, with its state-of-the-art research facilities, is an important interface in Thüringen for applied noise research and the development of quieter, forward-looking technologies.
