The 32nd International Congress on Sound and Vibration (ICSV32) will be held in Istanbul, Türkiye, from 5 to 10 July 2026. The congress serves as a global platform for advancing knowledge and innovation in acoustics and vibration with the aim of bringing together researchers, practitioners, and industry to exchange novel research findings, discuss emerging methods, and explore applications that address both longstanding challenges and future directions in the field.
Aligned with this years theme
"Acoustics from Heritage Sites to Future Cities",
the congress seeks to highlight how acoustics and vibration research connect historical environments, present-day challenges, and future technological developments. This includes understanding historical acoustic environments and preserving sonic heritage, addressing current acoustic challenges in engineering, architectural, urban, and environmental contexts, and exploring future-oriented technologies such as novel materials, digitalization in acoustics, AI-driven analysis, advanced measurements, and innovative design strategies.
An exhibition area will bring together leading companies, allowing participants to discover the latest technologies, instruments, software, and practical solutions in the field. The congress program will also include satellite events, notably the Acoustics and Vibrations Academy (AVA), offering advanced courses, hands-on workshops, and training in current and emerging approaches. Additional program elements will introduce participants to Istanbul’s unique acoustic identity through soundwalks as well as cultural experiences. During ICSV32, participants will have the chance to explore not only the latest developments in acoustics, but also the city’s rich soundscape, vibrant culture, cuisine, art, and daily life.
Full papers will be published in ICSV conference proceedings. The peer-reviewed conference papers will be indexed in Scopus and the Web of Science.

The International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration (IIAV) and the Turkish Acoustical Society (TAKDER) are pleased to invite scientists, engineers, and professionals from all over the world to attend the 32nd International Congress on Sound and Vibration (ICSV32) to be held in Istanbul, Türkiye, 5–10 July 2026.
ICSV is a leading global forum for sharing the latest research, ideas, and applications in acoustics and vibration. The congress will feature high-level technical papers, keynote lectures, workshops, and exhibitions, covering a wide range of topics in sound and vibration across disciplines.
As one of the most fascinating cities in the world, Istanbul offers an unforgettable backdrop for ICSV32. Located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Istanbul is renowned for its rich history, vibrant culture, and dynamic urban life. From the grandeur of Hagia Sophia and Topkapı Palace to the bustling Grand Bazaar and the scenic Bosphorus, the city promises a truly inspiring experience for all participants.
