The International Styrian Noise, Vibration and Harshness (ISNVH) Congress will celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2026, marking a quarter century since its first edition in 2001. Over the years, ISNVH has become the reference congress for automotive acoustics and vibrations in Europe.

ISNVH is recognized for bringing together industry and academia in a setting that prioritizes high-quality scientific exchange. Almost all European automotive OEMs are represented in the Scientific Program Committee — including Audi, BMW, Stellantis, Ford, Porsche, Renault, Volkswagen, and Volvo. Hyundai from Korea also joined as an active contributor, underlining the growing global scope of ISNVH and reflecting Asia’s increasing importance in the future of mobility.

The committee also benefits from strong academic representation, with renowned universities and research institutes from across Europe, North America, and Asia contributing with their expertise.

The 2024 edition of ISNVH was a great success, with about 200 participants from 21 countries, including representatives from leading OEMs worldwide (in addition to the aforementioned ones, companies such as Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Chery and Li Auto were also represented). This diversity and level of expertise underline the international relevance of ISNVH.

With the title “NVH Strategies for Global Competitiveness“, the upcoming 14th ISNVH Congress, scheduled for June 17–19, 2026, in Graz, Austria, will put a special focus on methods, tools, and concepts in the NVH field that can support the automotive industry in addressing the challenges of tomorrow’s market — shaped by uncertainty, increasing international competition, and rapidly evolving mobility concepts.

We look forward to celebrating this 25-year milestone together with you and the whole international NVH community!
