The conference warmly encourages in-person participation while also
offering online presentation opportunities where possible.
It will have a special focus on the relationships between acoustic
ecology/soundscape studies and democratic processes, social cohesion,
sustainability, and participation, and will explore - against the
backdrop of learning, adaptive, and agentic systems - how relational and
context-dependent listening practices - particularly those mediated by
technology - can redefine the notion of an acoustically beneficial
environment.
