The COWI project base stretches from vibrations and environmental noise through building acoustics and room acoustics to electro acoustics (sound, audio and visual). Our projects originate from the other disciplines where COWI provide advice; and from the departments own marketing activities.

The academic background must be coupled with an extensive experience base of applying theory to practice in actual projects, minimum 8 years and should preferably be augmented by a PhD degree within a planned horizon.
