ICUA 2026 – International Conference on Underwater Acoustics

Registration opening soon

In 2024, the Institute of Acoustics organised the successful ICUA conference in Bath.

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.

We look forward to welcoming our friends and colleagues from all over the world to present their latest research.

The conference, which is taking place at the University of Strathclyde, is in the heart of Glasgow’s city centre with a dynamic mix of stunning Victorian architecture, superb shopping on Buchanan Street, buzzing bars, and a thriving arts scene. Whether you are exploring iconic galleries, enjoying live music, or sampling top-notch cuisine, Glasgow offers the perfect blend of culture, creativity, and warm Scottish hospitality. The University of Strathclyde is a leading international university located in the heart of Glasgow, Scotland. Founded in 1796, it’s known for its strong focus on innovation, research, and practical learning.
