Forum Laboris



Forum Laboris is an on-site event connected to EAA conferences/summer or winter- schools providing young acousticians the opportunity to get to know and establish connections with employers.

Forum Laboris is a satellite event of Forum Acusticum / Euronoise 2025 to be held in Málaga (Spain) from June 23rd to 26th, 2025. However, participation in Forum Laboris does not require registration for the Congress.

Forum Laboris aims to connect potential job seekers/interested young acousticians and employers by providing initial and more detailed insights into work at companies, universities, and research centers.

Forum Laboris' tentative plan consists of two parts:

             1. Employers’ introduction pitches (approx. 60 minutes)

             2. Speed-dating between employers and job seekers (approx. 90 – 120 minutes)

Introduction pitches allow a quick overview of the employers at Forum Laboris, while speed-dating brings people together for the first step in networking. The speed-dating part is intended to establish communication channels with employers for the job application process and should not be mistaken for job interviews.

Forum Laboris will take place during the Congress as an in-person event. The final date, time and schedule will be confirmed after considering all participation applications.
