Dear Friends and Colleagues,
We are delighted to officially announce the destination and a fresh new format for AN 2028 in St Andrews, Scotland from 9th – 14th July 2028.
We have carefully considered the feedback received from our community and listened to the concerns many of you have raised. We are also acutely aware of the current global economic climate and the associated financial challenges that many researchers, students, and institutions are facing.
With these considerations in mind, and building on the strong sense of camaraderie, collaboration, and networking that has long been the hallmark of the Aquatic Noise meetings, we are excited to introduce a new conference model. Rather than hosting the conference at a traditional conference hotel, AN2028 will take place at the prestigious and historic University of St Andrews.
By choosing a university campus setting, we can continue to provide the high-quality scientific program, networking opportunities, and welcoming community atmosphere that participants have come to expect from Aquatic Noise, while also offering more budget-friendly, high-quality accommodations along with the option of stylish hotels nearby. Set along Scotland’s stunning east coast, St Andrews provides a beautiful and historic setting with a rich maritime heritage and internationally recognized strengths in marine and environmental science.
We believe this new format will make the meeting more accessible while preserving the collegial environment that has made Aquatic Noise such a successful and valued conference series.
We will be in touch early next year with further details regarding registration, accommodation options, booking links, etc.
Thank you for your continued support, engagement, and thoughtful feedback as we work together to shape the future of the Aquatic Noise community.
We look forward to welcoming you to Scotland in 2028!
