The program will include three keynote talks, about 67 oral presentations, three speed talk sessions (with associated posters), and two additional poster sessions. The first speed talk session will be on Monday afternoon and will be the talks for the competition for the award in honor of Rodney Coates. The assessment criteria for the Coates award will posted shortly.
Please refer to our Presentation Guidelines page for instructions about oral, speed, and poster presentations. It is very important that all presenters familiarize themselves with this material.
2. Public Session
There will be a public lecture and video night on Tuesday, consisting of a few invited, lay-language presentations on the key themes of the conference and a series of short, contributed videos. All meeting participants will be able to attend of course, but we are also going to advertise the public session widely to encourage attendance by residents of Dublin and surrounding communities and these people will get priority for attendance.
A key feature of the public presentation will be short videos prepared by meeting participants (and we will also invite local students to submit as well). If you would like to consider doing a video presentation of your research OR an idea about underwater sound, we invite presentations.
Please find the call for submissions for our Short Film Competition here.
3. Social Programme
The conference will commence with a welcome reception on Sunday evening for delegates and accompanying persons. The reception will include live traditional Irish background music.
The conference banquet will be held on Friday night, at Trinity College. We will enjoy live Irish music performed by Deirdre Seaver during dinner.
Prior to our conference banquet, we have arranged for a private viewing of the Book of Kells for all people attending the banquet. The Book of Kells is one of Ireland’s greatest cultural treasures and the world’s most famous medieval manuscript.
A disco night has been organized for Thursday evening at the hotel bar. Entry to this event is free of charge, but everyone pays for their own drinks.
A 5 km fun run, together with a 1 km fun walk, has been organized for early Wednesday morning. The route runs through the old centre of Dublin and along the Liffey River.
