The 47th National Conference of the Acoustic Society of Italy (AIA) will be held online in the last week of May 2021.
The Conference will address the most current issues in the areas of analysis and control of environmental noise, acoustic quality in construction and work environments, also considering the most recent developments in the regulatory field and in all the other more advanced sectors of physical, environmental, architectural, musical and metrological acoustic research.
The different sessions will take place on the AIA webinar platform.
At the end of the Conference, online professional updating courses will be held for Competent Acoustics Technicians, for which the request for accreditation is in progress.
The Conference will not have a physical location and will propose a structure and a program specifically designed for online communication, also with the contribution of suggestions and requests made by AIA Members.

TEXT OF THE SCIENTIFIC PAPERS
The text of accepted scientific papers must be produced in the form of an extended abstract of a maximum length of two pages. This document will be included in the conference proceedings (which will be published exclusively online and which will have their own ISBN for indexing in bibliographic databases). The Microsoft Word template for the text of the scientific papers is available at this LINK
It is recommended to strictly follow the instructions given in the model and not to make any changes to the structure (pagination, font size, etc.). The papers must be saved in unprotected PDF format and loaded using the FORM in the Papers Submission section.
N.B .: texts too long or not following the graphic prescriptions will not be published in the Conference Proceedings. No changes will be made in the editorial phase, therefore each author is responsible for verifying the conformity of the manuscripts.
In order to allow the widest dissemination of scientific contributions, the authors maintain the rights to their work and assign to AIA the right of first publication of the work, simultaneously licensed under a “Creative Commons License – Attribution” (CC-BY) , which allows others to share the work by indicating intellectual authorship and the first publication on the proceedings of this conference. Authors can adhere to other non-exclusive license agreements for the distribution of the version of the published work (e.g. deposit it in an institutional archive or publish it in a monograph), provided that the first publication was made on the documents of this Conference. Authors can disseminate their work online (e.g. in institutional repositories or on their website) before and during the publication process on the proceedings of this conference, since it can lead to productive exchanges and increase citations of the published work.
TEMPLATE FOR THE TEXT OF THE SCIENTIFIC PAPERS
The extended version of the scientific papers presented at the conference can be submitted to the RIA (Italian Journal of Acoustics) for review and publication. It should be remembered that RIA is a completely open access and peer-reviewed journal, being accredited in the main indexing and bibliographic citation databases. Only manuscripts already published (or being published) in the form of an extended summary in the proceedings of the National Conference will be taken into consideration. The RIA provides for an anonymous review between the parties and the process of publication of the works presented at the National Conference is the same as that provided for free contributions. Authors wishing to propose an extended version of the scientific papers can indicate their interest by sending an email to the Editorial Board of RIA at the address ria@acustica-aia.it, indicating the ID code assigned at the time of acceptance of the manuscript. The RIA Editorial Board will contact the individual authors at the end of the conference to proceed with sending the scientific papers. The authors can however send the extended version of their scientific memory even before the Conference, using the link below and specifying in the comments that it is a memory presented at the 47th AIA National Conference.
PROPOSAL FOR PUBLICATION ON THE ITALIAN JOURNAL OF ACOUSTICS
PRESENTATION OF THE SCIENTIFIC PAPERS
The complete list of scientific papers grouped by thematic macro-areas and the alphabetical one by author will be made available on this site. Please promptly notify the AIA SECRETARIAT of any changes to the author’s name who will present the oral memory or the poster, as well as any absence. <strong>Only the papers for which at least one author has completed the registration to the Conference will be published.
TO UPLOAD OR MODIFY A CONTRIBUTION LOGIN HERE
The contributions will be published in the proceedings after evaluation by the Scientific Committee and on condition that at least one author is registered at the Conference. If the registered author has to submit more than one scientific report, it is necessary to repeat the loading procedure for each work. The deadline for uploading scientific contributions is set for April 9, 2021.
We remind you that the drafting of the scientific papers for the 47th AIA National Conference must be carried out following the instructions given in the MODEL for publication in the Conference proceedings. The maximum length allowed for the text is two pages. Texts with a length exceeding this limit or not conforming to the graphic requirements will not be published in the Conference Proceedings.

FRIDAY 28 MAY 2021
– 9-12: “Acoustic climate and soundscapes during the COVID-19 epidemic”
The COVID-19 epidemiological emergency has resulted in a unique and perhaps unrepeatable acoustic scenario.
The various measures adopted at national and local level to deal with the critical health issues have induced a drastic variation in people’s behaviour, more or less marked depending on the seasonal period and the different phases of the day, with evident consequences on circulating vehicular traffic, on the exercise of productive activities and the use of external recreational spaces.
The objective of the training seminar is to analyze the consequences that this scenario has determined on the acoustic climate and soundscapes of our territory, with particular attention to urban areas.
In particular, the data obtained in the most important international studies will be summarized and the methodologies adopted and results achieved so far will be illustrated as part of research work at a national level, carried out through collaboration between the AIA and the National System for Environmental Protection. .
– 2-5 PM: “The role of TCA in the design, verification and classification of the acoustic performance of buildings”
The relaunch of the private construction sector through tax incentive policies and the updating of the minimum technical requirements for public construction have highlighted a series of problems relating to the satisfaction of noise protection requirements that require particular attention.
The objective of the training seminar is to present in an organic manner the different phases of the construction process in which the TCA is called upon to play an essential role in achieving the legal requirements and project needs. In particular, the recent innovations introduced in the technical regulations on forecasting methods for building acoustics and for the classification of the performance of real estate units will be illustrated.
