Looking forward to INTER-NOISE 2023

Date published:

INTER-NOISE 2023 is just around the corner. Under the theme of “Quieter Society with Diversity and Inclusion”, the world’s foremost congress on noise control will meet in Chiba, Japan in August. The Congress is sponsored by the International Institute of Noise Control Engineering (I-INCE) and co-organized by the Institute of Noise Control Engineering of Japan (INCE/J) and the Acoustical Society of Japan (ASJ).

Japan has organized the Inter-Noise Congress three occasions in the past: Sendai in 1975, Yokohama in 1994, and recently Osaka in 2011. Each congress was a great success. 

What to Expect…

INTER-NOISE 2023 will primarily be a live/in-person congress, but will also enable pre-recorded presentations for the participants who cannot travel to Japan. This congress will offer the best opportunities to learn about and share the cutting-edge research with colleagues from all over the world. The congress promises to be an invaluable experience for all participants and a great opportunity to create friendships and new memories.

Getting To Japan and Getting Around

Getting to Japan from anywhere in the world is easy, thanks to the many international flights to Tokyo’s two international airports, Haneda and Narita. Chiba boasts being “Japan’s No.1” in terms of global access provided by these two international airports. They are respectively ranked first and second Japanese airports in terms of the number of passengers. It takes 30 to 40 minutes by the express buses from these two international airports to the congress venue in Makuhari, Chiba.  In the Greater Tokyo area, public transportation such as the railway is well developed, and several railway lines are operating directly between Makuhari and central Tokyo with travel time within 30 minutes. You can find the beloved attractions of Tokyo at your fingertips. More information about Chiba and Makuhari is available at https://www.visitchiba.jp/ and https://www.visitchiba.jp/things/makuhari/.

We look forward to seeing you in Japan!
