We are organising the 3rd
International Conference on Immersive and 3D Audio
Bologna, Piazza Scaravilli, University of Bologna
From 10^th to 12^th September, 2025

I3DA 2025 will again focus on innovation in 3D immersive audio including architectural acoustics, virtual acoustics, automotive acoustics, subjective evaluations and listening tests, immersive soundscape design and creative uses of immersive technologies. I3DA 2025 would like to involve academic and industrial researchers to share their latest research, methods, and demos related to Immersive and 3D Audio in Audio Engineering. Topics furthermore include virtual/augmented reality and their applications, musical acoustics, signal processing in acoustics, non-linear acoustics in auralisation, machine learning related to acoustics, heritage acoustics, psychoacoustics, 3D audio for gaming, 3D audio in art and sound studies contexts, bioacoustics and the environment. Further topics may be accepted.

I3DA will be indexed on IEEE like the previous year, with Special Issues like last year.

The conference will represent the most recent stages in developing new methodologies and technologies in this field, placing itself as a high-profile international meeting for researchers and other professionals in immersive and 3D audio areas.

With profound sadness, we share that Professor Angelo Farina passed away in March 2025. Prof. Farina was the Chair of the Scientific Committee of I3DA.  A beloved mentor, colleague, and pioneer in the field of acoustics, Professor Farina shaped generations of researchers through his innovative work and inspiring teaching. His groundbreaking contributions spanned many areas of acoustics, including immersive audio, room acoustics, and underwater acoustics. He will be missed dearly by colleagues, students, and friends around the world. Therefore, to honor his life, legacy, and outstanding scientific achievements, we will host a memorial day dedicated to the memory of Professor Farina. We warmly invite former students, collaborators, and all researchers influenced by his work to contribute to these sessions. This is a unique opportunity to celebrate his innovative spirit by presenting research that continues, extends, or reflects his visionary approach to acoustics.  More information here:  In Memoriam: Professor Angelo Farina (1958–2025). 

The I3DA 2025 proceedings will be submitted to the IEEE for publication and will also be indexed on Scopus and Web of Science.

We look forward to seeing you in Bologna for a full immersion in the latest trends in immersive and 3D audio research!
