Invitation

The India International Symposium on Acoustics (IISA) and the Acoustical Society of India (ASI) are pleased to invite scientists and engineers from all over the world to attend the India International Symposium on Acoustics (IISA-202) to be held at University of Calicut, Keralam during 19-21st November 2026. This symposium will be a great opportunity for acousticians and experts in ultrasonics & vibration to come together and share their latest research, ideas and applications in the fields of acoustics, ultrasonics and vibration. The symposium will feature a broad range of high-level technical papers from across the world: distinguished plenary lecturers will present recent advancements and future prospects in important topics of sound, ultrasonics and vibration.

As a historic gateway to the Malabar region of Keralam, Calicut (Kozhikode) is a vibrant coastal city known for its rich cultural heritage, academic prominence, and scenic beauty. It was near Calicut, at Kappad Beach, that the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama first landed in India in 1498, marking a significant moment in world history and global maritime trade. Once a flourishing center of commerce and learning, Calicut today offers a harmonious blend of tradition and modern development. From its historic landmarks and serene beaches to its thriving educational institutions and lively markets, visitors will experience the warmth and cultural depth of Keralam.

The conference will be hosted at the University of Calicut, one of Kerala’s premier higher education institutions, established in 1968, set amidst a lush and tranquil campus environment conducive to academic exchange and collaboration. The venue is conveniently accessible from Calicut International Airport (11 kms), Kozhikode Railway Station (24 kms) and National Highway 66 ensuring smooth connectivity for participants travelling from across India and abroad.

The main goal of the conference is to provide deep insights into acoustic activities among ASI and ICA member societies and to promote future cooperative research projects. The symposium encourages international collaboration and welcomes foreign acousticians to participate and organise structured sessions.We look forward to welcoming you to CALICUT, KERALAM

Scientific Context

Symposium Theme

IISA 2026 brings together acousticians, engineers, scientists, healthcare professionals, and industry leaders across the full spectrum of acoustics, ultrasonics, vibration, and intelligent systems. The conference is structured in 11 technical areas drawn directly from the symposium tracks. From underwater acoustics and environmental noise to speech, sound perception, electro-acoustics, and vibro-acoustics, the program is designed to reflect the complete research breadth described in the brochure

Aero, Hydro & Underwater Acoustics

Research in propagation, sensing, sonar systems, and sound behavior across air and water environments.

Architectural & Building Acoustics

Room acoustics, building performance, and sound environments designed for comfort, clarity, and function.

Bioacoustics

Acoustic communication, biological sound studies, and sound-based understanding of living systems.

Environmental Noise

Noise assessment, mitigation, monitoring, and sustainable acoustic planning for built and natural environments.

Instrumentation & Signal Processing

Measurement systems, acoustic devices, signal analysis, and computational methods for real-world applications.

Musical Acoustics

Research on musical sound, instruments, performance acoustics, and the physics of musical expression

Physical Acoustics & Ultrasonics

Wave phenomena, ultrasonics, propagation, and advanced physical principles in acoustical science.

Speech

Speech acoustics, spoken communication, hearing-related systems, and speech-oriented signal technologies.

Sound Perception

Listening, auditory cognition, psychoacoustics, and human response to sound environments.

Transducers & Electro-acoustics

Electro-acoustic systems, transducer design, actuation, sensing, and sound reproduction technologies.

Vibro-acoustics & Noise
