The EAA Summer School will take place from Saturday, September 5, until Monday, September 7, 2026, preceding the Forum Acusticum Conference at the facilities of Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) and University of Music and Performing Arts Graz (KUG) at campus Inffeldgasse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Summer School is chaired by Katharina Gro\u00df-Vogt and Matthias Frank (Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics, KUG) and Manfred Kaltenbacher (Institute of Fundamentals and Theory in Electrical Engineering, TU Graz).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Summer School is composed of several course topics that will run in parallel and have the same duration. It is important to note that they will be taught in parallel, so attendees should register only for one specific topic according to their interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The preliminary program is scheduled for Saturday 5th afternoon, until Monday 7th noon:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discover the fascinating science of sound in this EAA summer school designed for students with a strong interest on acoustics. The course begins with a thorough introduction to the fundamentals of vibrations and sound waves, covering essential concepts such as period, frequency, wavelength, and amplitude, providing a solid scientific foundation for further study. As the program progresses, students will explore more advanced topics, including acoustic levels, level calculation, harmonic content, and frequency spectra, gaining insight into how sound is analyzed, measured, and perceived in real-world environments. These concepts will be illustrated through practical examples drawn from music, environmental acoustics, and everyday soundscapes. Participants will also develop a clear understanding of the core principles governing sound propagation. Topics include the wave equation, sound transmission through air and solids, reflection, absorption, and diffraction, as well as the acoustic behaviour of different materials. Special attention will be given to sound absorbers and strategies for controlling noise. The summer school emphasizes hands-on learning, with interactive laboratory sessions and guided exercises using professional acoustic measurement and analysis tools. Students will apply theoretical knowledge to practical challenges, interpret measurement data, and gain valuable experience in experimental methods commonly used in acoustics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
