The European Acoustics Association (EAA) is a non-profit entity established in 1992 and includes in its membership societies predominantly in European countries interested in to promote development and progress of acoustics in its different aspects, its technologies and applications.

The main objectives of the EAA are to:

• promote and spread the science of acoustics, its technologies and applications, throughout Europe and the entire world
• interface with associations whose activities are related to acoustics
• establish contacts across member associations and other public and private bodies
• promote the formation of national acoustical societies in European countries where these do not exist, and to support and strengthen activities of existing national associations, respecting the principle of subsidiarity
• publish Acta Acustica united with Acustica, in printed as well as in electronic format
• organize and promote congresses, publish books and monographs, and engage in all those activities that are connected with the diffusion, promotion and development of acoustics
• establish agreements for collaboration with European and international entities in order to better serve the objectives of EAA
• stimulate education activities and platforms in acoustics at all educational levels, both academic and professional
• promote and divulge the establishment and implementation of norms and recommendations in the various fields of acoustics

EAA is democratically organized (one vote per country) with a general assembly, a board and an executive council.

Technical Committees
EAA has 7 technical committees which, at different level, are in charge of organizing specific activities (technical reports, round robin tests, structured session organization at congresses, symposia, etc.). They are open to all individual members of EAA member societies and are coordinated by a Chairman:
• CA, Computational Acoustics • HYD, Hydroacoustics • MUS, Musical Acoustics • NOI, Noise • PPA, Psychological and Physiological Acoustics • RBA, Room and Building Acoustics • ULT, Ultrasound

The European Acoustics Association (EAA)

• 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
• offers a range of products which can only be efficiently provided by means of pan-European cooperation
