It provides a unique opportunity to interact with conference “buddies,” and to connect with established researchers. You will have the opportunity to engage in discussions about publication strategies, career trajectories, the interdisciplinary nature of underwater acoustics, and gain insights into both academic and industrial landscapes. Building on the success of the ICUA2022 EC event and its feedback, our aim is to empower the next generation.

Step into a time gone by – Bath was one of the greatest religious spas of the ancient world, attracting visitors from across the Roman Empire to worship and bathe in the healing hot spring waters of its magnificent baths. Gaze down at the waters, breathe in the wisps of steam and be transported straight back to that ancient world. The Roman Baths are one of the best-preserved Roman remains in the world. We start the evening with a drinks reception around the Great Bath taking in the architecture and the modern wall projections in the side rooms.
We move on then to the Georgian Pump Room the social heart of Bath for more than two centuries, boasting Jane Austen and Charles Dickens amongst its previous patrons for a 3-course dinner.
The Roman Baths and Pump Room are situated in the heart of Bath and very easy to reach from a number of city centre hotels.
