[AUDITORY] AURORA3 Grant for Research Visits



Dear colleagues,

We are very happy to announce the AURORA³ Grants for Research Visits! AURORA³ (Anechoic and Universal Research Observation Rooms for Audio, Acoustics & AI) is opening its doors in 2027 and we want to showcase its potential. AURORA³ is a £2.2M EPSRC National Strategic Infrastructure consisting of an anechoic chamber with a spherical loudspeaker array and a world-first variable acoustics room capable of adjusting both wall absorption and room volume.

We invite researchers in the fields of audio, acoustics, machine learning, auditory science, etc. to visit the University of Surrey with expenses covered to support their own research activities. At the same time, these activities will help us highlight the quality and variety of research activities that can be conducted in this new facility. We especially welcome PhD students, Early Career Researchers, researchers with limited access to acoustic measurement facilities, scholars from historically underrepresented groups within their discipline, and the organisations that supported the AURORA³ funding proposal as partners or with a letter of support.

For further information, please visit:

Call opens: 11th Nov 2026
Call closes: 29th Nov 2026 (at 23:59:59 UK GMT time)
Expected date for response: 4th Dec 2026

If you have any questions regarding this call, please email Pedro Lladó (p.llado[at]surrey.ac.uk).
