Contributed Papers:

The regular sessions of ECUA 2010 covers the rest of the topics related to Underwater Acoustics and related technology.  Under these sessions contributed papers will be presented.

 

Poster Session:

 

Poster Session covers the most recent presentations of research information by an individual or representatives of several research teams at the ECUA 2010 with an academic or professional focus on Underwater Acoustics and related technology. There will be a special area dedicated for the poster session.

 

Social Program:

 

The social program prepared for the enjoyment of both the participants of the ECUA-2010 and accompanying persons will include the Welcome Reception, Banquet and the tour of the Bosphorus. This year Istanbul is one of the European Cultural Capitals, due to the fact, there are going to be many activities taking place during the conference period.To see the details please click here.
