Regional cooperation platform

Connecting ASEAN’s acoustics community

The ASEAN Acoustics Commission brings together national acoustical societies to advance regional cooperation in acoustics, noise, vibration, education, research and professional exchange.

What AAC is

Cooperation between national societies

AAC is a cooperation platform for recognised national acoustical societies in ASEAN. It supports activities that benefit from regional coordination while respecting the independence and responsibilities of each national society.
