I-Ince Technical Activities
I-INCE coordinates a number of technical activities across the world. It is probably best known for its support of the yearly INTER-NOISE congress, but there are a wide number of technical activities that I-INCE supports. These activities are largely run through the office of I-INCE Vice President – Technical Activities. A list of activities are available to browse through on the menu to the left.
