50th Congress Special Events

Special sessions or events will be held to mark the 50 years of progress in noise control since the first inter·noise Congress in 1972, but also to look forward and speculate on what could be achieved in the next 50 years. Materials will be prepared that celebrate the 50 years of inter·noise Congresses and the International Institute of Noise Control, provide some thoughts on successes and continuing challenges, and some speculations on how advances in technology, as well as health, societal and environmental issues will affect global noise control in the future.
