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.
