On November 22-23, the Silesian University of Technology hosted the inaugural meeting of a research project under the Horizon Europe program entitled "Active reduction of noise transmitted into and from enclosures through encapsulated structures". The project is led by the Silesian University of Technology, with the originator and coordinator being Professor Marek Pawełczyk. The consortium members include prestigious universities and research institutes as well as global companies such as University College London, University of Southampton, KU Leuven, Politecnico di Milano, Universitat Politecnica de Valencia, Otto von Guericke Universität Magdeburg, DLR, Siemens, Airbus, Analog Devices, Müller-BBM. Scientists from the Universidad Austral of Chile, Hong-Kong Polytechnic University, Nanyang Technological University Singapore, Kansai University, and Qatar University, as well as institutions such as the Noise Abatement Society from the United Kingdom, Stadler, Diehl Aviation, and the Central Office of Measures are also involved. The project budget is approximately 3.45 million euros.
The IN-NOVA project aims to reduce noise in cars, airplanes, industrial and household equipment by controlling their vibrations. The project will involve intensive research activities, including many joint doctoral programs. Innovative solutions will be developed, standards and certification methods will be established, and many training and science popularization activities will be organized. At least 30 publications will be created in reputable journals, as well as more extensive scientific works, training materials, patent applications, scientific conferences, and spin-off companies.Thirteen scientists will be employed as part of the project, who will also be included in the doctoral program.
