CONGRESSES

The five-yearly international congresses on Noise as a Public Health Problem are a centerpiece of ICBEN’s productivity. High standards of scientific quality and sensitive application of research to practical solutions are the norm. The Congress avoids the isolation of the teams and offers a possibility to share information and experience. For example each team gets the opportunity to present its five-yearly review of research. The polite yet sometimes spirited discussions also serve ICBEN well.
