4th Underwater Acoustics Hackathon
The Special Interest Group for Underwater Acoustics (SIGUA) is holding a two‑day hackathon alongside the International Conference on Underwater Acoustics (ICUA) 2026. The event will take place on 14-15 June 2026 at the University of Strathclyde’s Technology & Innovation Centre in Glasgow. This will be the fourth SIGUA hackathon, following successful events in 2022 (Sheffield), 2023 (Bath), and 2025 (Bath).

In addition, a virtual pre‑event will be held on Zoom on Friday 15 May (details to follow). This will allow Challenge Leaders to introduce their datasets and provide early access, as well as give participants an opportunity to meet one another and form teams ahead of the main event.

The hackathon offers a unique opportunity to explore current and emerging challenges in underwater acoustics, collaborate with fellow researchers, and develop innovative solutions. Small teams will work intensively on one of the industry‑defined challenges over the two days, with representatives from industry circulating between groups to offer context, insights, and support.
