The European Acoustics Association (EAA) was founded in 1992 by eleven European acoustical societies. Organised in the form of a non-profit making enterprise, nowadays under Spanish law, it provides a firm base for many activities in acoustics.

The European Acoustics Association (EAA)

• is a service provider to 30 acoustical societies throughout Europe, with more than 9,000 individual members
  
  
• offers a range of products which can only be efficiently provided by means of pan-European cooperation
  
  
• is democratically organised – based on the federal principles of one vote per society, regardless of size, with adherence to the concept of subsidiarity
  
  
• has an efficient management structure – managers being assigned due to competence and not simply for political balance
  
  
• is economically powerful since the full members share the running operational costs
  
  
• is open to all European acoustical societies due to the concept of associate-member societies, which are entitled to economic privileges in accordance with their economic status – associate members can become full members at any time
  
  
• provides a good basis for the general growth and expansion of activities in acoustics to meet future demands of its member societies
  
  
• provides attractive opportunities for responsible volunteers who want to devote part of their working power and expertise to activities at the pan-European level
  
  
• works on the principle of subsidiarity – that is, it complements, and does not replace the activities of national and regional societies
  
  
• gathers together 30 national societies of acoustics and serves more than 9,000 individual members in the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republik, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia and Montenegro, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom.
