Applied Acoustics : What's up : Seminar and Defence Calendar

About the seminars

Our seminars take place during the autumn and spring semesters with presentations by our own or outside researchers, as well as by our Master students.

Do you want your name added to our send list for future seminars? If you do, please send an email to carsten.hoever@chalmers.se with "SUBSCRIBE seminar list" in the Subject field.

The seminar calendar is also available as a static (non-updating) download in ics-format or as an automatically updating subscription for iCal-Users (users of other calendar software might check if their software supports this as well).

Coming Seminars

Tentative calendar for the Spring 2013 semester (updated version May 20th 2013)

June 5 - 10.00: Licenciate thesis presentation Erkin Asutay: Physical measurements and subjective characterization of pipe organ mechanical key actions.
