33rd Scandinavian Symposium on Physical Acoustics


Geilo Hotel, 7–10 February 2010

Purpose

The purpose of these meetings is primarily to stimulate contacts and exchange information between different Scandinavian teams working in this area. Although the symposium is Scandinavian, foreign participants are most welcome, and the meeting language will be English. As usual, we expect a rather informal tone, the main goal being to create contacts, not only during sessions, but also by social activities, indoors and outdoors (cross country and downhill skiing).

These yearly meetings are arranged by the Norwegian Physical Society, and was this year organized by Professor Ulf Kristiansen from NTNU. This year's symposium consisted of 54 participants from six different countries, giving a total of 28 presentations over three days. A full list of the participants can be downloaded at the bottom of this page.
