UK Acoustics Network Plus Physical Acoustics and Early Career SIG workshop on Careers in Acoustics
Mar 20, 2025

Description As an Early Career representative member of the Special Interest Group (SIG), I, along with a few colleagues, organised a workshop titled Careers in Acoustics.

Held on Thursday, 20th March, at the Institute of Physics in London, the Physical Acoustics and Early Career SIG workshop was attended by over 35 people and had a vibrant, engaging atmosphere. It was wonderful to see early, mid, and senior career members of the UK Acoustics Network Plus all in one room, sharing their experiences.

Eight invited speakers discussed opportunities in the acoustic engineering industry and beyond, highlighting the skills currently in demand and how to successfully transition from academia to industry. We were pleased to welcome representatives from prominent organisations including Hoare Lea, Innovate UK, Multiwave Technologies AG, Rolls-Royce, and Airbus.

Ten early career attendees were selected to present their skills to the workshop audience, and each of them demonstrated exceptional professionalism and showcased their capabilities impressively.

The workshop concluded with a lively panel discussion, during which early career attendees continued the conversation with invited speakers about opportunities in both academia and industry.
