We're building the open source infrastructure
Our purpose of the foundation is to democratize research outputs, e.g., results and methods, in the realm of acoustics in the built environment and promote the progress of knowledge and open and reproducible science.
FOUNDERS
OPEN ACOUSTICS FOUNDATION
Our philosophy of the foundation is to support communities around open source projects and tools in acoustics in the built environment to serve the purpose of the foundation. The support is arranged via
- Advertising foundation projects, activities and news;
- Organizing events, stimulating and expanding the community
- Attracting and keeping sponsors and donors
In this way, the foundation contributes to the culture change towards open, transparent and reproducible science, and democratises research results to a wide public.

Our values
Openness
Knowledge grows when it is shared. We make research results, methods, and tools openly available to everyone, promoting transparency, accessibility, and reproducibility in acoustics research.
Community Collaboration
Progress is a collective effort. We bring together researchers, industry professionals, educators, developers, and users to create, improve, and apply open solutions that benefit the entire acoustics community.
Scientific Integrity
Quality and trust are at the heart of everything we do. We uphold rigorous scientific standards, encourage reproducible research, and ensure that our platforms and tools are developed with accuracy, reliability, and transparency.
Impact for Society
Research should create real-world value. We bridge the gap between scientific innovation and practical application, ensuring that knowledge and tools developed through research are accessible and useful to society.
