Bringing together the UK's acoustic research community

The vision of the UK Acoustics Network Plus is: (i) to promote acoustics related research in the UK both nationally and internationally; (ii) to provide a coherent single point of access to the acoustics research community for industry and governmental agencies; and (iii) to support pilot/explorative projects that can be developed into competitive full-scale proposals to initiate research areas which are new to UK or strategically important.

Specialist Interest Groups

View all

UKAN+ covers all major areas of acoustics. To provide the opportunity for members to connect and advance their focused area of interest, UKAN+ has 15 SIGs.

Aeroacoustics

Aeroacoustics is concerned with the generation, transmission, and propagation of sound generated aerodynamically, i.e, by unsteady flows.

Sensors

At the heart of acoustics engineering is the sensor - the device by which sound is converted into data.

Vibro-acoustics

Vibro-acoustics is concerned with the sound generated by vibrating sources because of their contact with structures.

Early Career

The Early Career SIG of UKAN+ (SIG-EC) comprises over 650 members from industry, academia and the third sector in the early stage of their careers.
