The annual conference of the Russian Acoustical Society was held from October 21 to 25, 2024, at the Andreev Institute of Acoustics. The conference program included 18 sections, covering various aspects of modern acoustics and bringing together scientists across Russia.

LIMU Heads presented two plenary lectures and participated in the conference organization as members of the program committee and section chairs: O.A. Sapozhnikov chaired the sections “Ultrasonic Technologies” and “Physical Acoustics,” while V.A. Khokhlova chaired the section “Bioacoustics and Medical Applications of Acoustic Methods.”

LIMU graduate students and research fellows gave a total of 12 presentations across 5 sections:

• Wave propagation and diffraction: E.O. Konnova, P.V. Yuldashev
• Physical acoustics: L.M. Kotelnikova, Sh.A. Asfandiyarov
• Bioacoustics and medical applications of acoustic methods: D.D. Chupova, A.A. Krokhmal, M.M. Karzova, P.A. Pestova, E.M. Ponomarchuk
