3. SOCIETY PROFILE
The Spanish Acoustical
Society (Sociedad Española de Acústica, SEA) was founded in
1969 as a non-for-profit scientific and technical association. Its primary
goal is to enhance the development of Acoustics in Spain.
The specific objectives of SEA are:
- to promote continuous
progress in all fields of Acoustics,
- to foster Research and Development in Science and Technology of Acoustics,
and its applications,
- to support and contribute with technical advice to Administrations, Companies and Associations' activities seeking the improvement on acoustic environment, its control, and its influence on population's welfare,
- to host and organize national and international meetings and conferences as forum for discussion and exchanges of knowledge and experiences among specialists,
- to publish regularly the technical journal, Revista de Acústica
SEA’s activities are organized in specialised sections in the following fields:
AAM- Environmental
Acoustics and Noise
AED- Building Acoustics
AEV- Structural Acoustics and Vibrations
AFP- Physiological and Psychological Acoustics
AFS- Physical Acoustics and Signal Processing
AMS- Musical Acoustics
APS- Professional Audio and Sound Applications
ASB- Underwater Acoustics
ASL- Room Acoustics
BAC- Bioacoustics
ELI- Electroacoustics and Instrumentation
ESI- Teaching and Research
NOR- Standards
PAC- Speech Processing and Acoustics of Communications
ULT- Ultrasonics
Spanish Acoustical Society (SEA) links with other Acoustics bodies at national
and international level are a fundamental component of its character:
- Since its origin, SEA is in close relationship with the Acoustics Institute of the Spanish Scientific Research Council.
- Since the beginning, SEA has cooperated with the acoustical societies of other countries, particularly those in Europe and Iberoamerica.
- SEA is a founding member of the European Acoustics Association – EAA, International Commission for Acoustics – ICA, and Iberian Federation of Acoustics – FIA.
- SEA is also member of the Spanish Committee of Audiophonology- CEAF, Bureau International d´Audiophonologie – BIAP, International Institute of Noise Control Engineering – I-INCE, and International Institute of Sound and Vibration – IISV.
Every year, SEA celebrates a national congress, TECNIACÚSTICA, in different cities of Spain to promote the development of Acoustics in academic and private sectors, providing a common space for exchanging and reporting about latest research developments and technical advances. In parallel to the annual congress, a technical exhibition of products and services is organized – EXPOACÚSTICA.
We would like to highlight other significant meetings organized by SEA:
- 9th International Congress on Acoustics, Madrid, 1977, with satellite symposia in Barcelona and Sevilla. This congress met together 1,500 participants from all over the
world, and near 1,000 papers were presented. We are fortunate enough to celebrate again, 30 years later, the 19th edition of this ICA congress in Madrid in 2007.
- 8th FASE Symposium on Environmental Acoustics, Zaragoza, 1989;
-11th FASE Symposium on Acoustical Materials and Ultrasonic Transducers, Valencia 1984;
- Conference on “Environmental Noise in Urban Areas”, Barcelona, 1990;
- International conference on “Noise in Urban Areas”, Madrid, 1991;
- International Conference on the “Acoustic Quality of Concert Halls” in Madrid in 1994, at the occasion of SEA’s 25th anniversary;
- 2nd Iberian Congress on Acoustics and an EAA Symposium on Architectural Acoustics, Madrid, 2000.
- FORUM ACUSTICUM, Sevilla 2002
Next Congresses to be organized by SEA:
- 37th TECNIACÚSTICA, Gandia, October 2006.
- 19th International Congress on Acoustics (ICA), Madrid, September 2007.
