In March 2014, the University of Oldenburg - in cooperation with the "Hearing4all" cluster of excellence - will host two scientific conferences with the main theme "Hearing for all":

• The 40th German Annual Conference on Acoustics (DAGA) will take place from 10 to 13 March 2014 on the Haarentor campus
  
  With around 1200 participants, the largest and most important acoustics conference in Europe is coming to Oldenburg for the third time to mark its 40th anniversary - a scientific highlight for hearing research in Oldenburg. The organisation and structure of the anniversary conference follows the proven concept of the DAGA: current results from acoustics research and development will be presented in plenary lectures, structured and free lecture sessions and poster sessions as well as an industry exhibition. Further information can be found at www.daga2014.de.
  
  

• The 17th annual conference of the German Society of Audiology (DGA) will take place from 12 to 15 March 2014 on the Wechloy campus
  
  The most important German audiology conference is returning to Oldenburg for the second time since 1998. In plenary lectures and structured sessions, renowned scientists will present current research findings and outline the development and application of new methods for the protection, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of hearing impairment. Several tutorials offer a range of current audiological topics for further education. Further information at: www.dga-ev.com/dga-jahrestagung/
  
  

• Public evening lecture: Psychophysics and psychophysiology: From Fechner to hearing for all
  
  Prof. Dr Erich Schröger (University of Leipzig), one of the world's most prominent representatives of auditory psychophysiology, will cover the spectrum from the Leipzig beginnings of the psychophysical measurement of perception to objectively measurable brain functions and the topic of the cluster of excellence based in Oldenburg and Hanover.
  The lecture will take place on 13 March at 7 p.m. in the large lecture theatre (W3-1-161) on the Wechloy campus.
