On the 1st of July 2011 the inaugural lecture by Professor Renz van Luxemburg took place at the Eindhoven University of Technology. He is full professor of the chair Building Acoustics of the unit BPS at the department of Architecture.

"The inaugural lecture sets out to underline the need to anticipate changing attitudes in the world of the built environment by focusing on new technologies and innovative solutions. It will not be an easy challenge. We need to cooperate with the acoustics research groups of other departments and universities all over the world. Why not try to develop an institute of applied acoustic research at our university? Even after decades of research and legislation, we still are confronted with problems related to noise in the built environment, which shows us we still have a long way to go to achieve our goals. Last, but not least, in consultancy we often have to deal with disbelief as the clients and users expect a guarantee of the final result for which the existing objective terms are not sufficient to cover all the subjective quality levels."
