The 2023 International Congress on Ultrasonics in Beijing (2023 ICU BEIJING ) is the eighth biennial meeting under the banner of the International Congress on Ultrasonics (ICU) since the constitution of ICU in 2005, to be organized and hosted by ICU, the Acoustical Society of China and Institute of Acoustics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Since the 2021 ICU BEIJING has been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ICU Board Member Committee decided that 2023 ICU BEIJING  will be held in a hybrid way, i.e., both on the ground and online.
