European education in noise control

The International Institute of Noise Control Engineering and Noise Control Foundation, in cooperation with the European Acoustics Association's Technical Committee on Noise (EAA TC-NOISE) held a one-day workshop during the 19th International Congress on Acoustics—ICA2007 MADRID—on September 4, 2007 in Madrid, Spain. The theme of the workshop was "European Education in Noise Control Engineering," and focused on academic training—current and future—in the technical aspects of noise control. The panelists participating in the workshop came from leading universities and institutions of higher learning in the following countries: Belgium, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Turkey, the Ukraine, and United Kingdom. These institutions are producing graduate engineers with formal training in the control of noise at its source and in the community.
