The AEC European Platform for Artistic Research in Music (EPARM) 2025 will be held from 3 to 5 April 2025 at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre in Tallinn (Estonia).

The European Platform for Artistic Research in Music (EPARM) is an initiative of the European Association of Conservatoires (AEC), acting as a resource for artistic research in the specific context of Higher Music Education: sharing knowledge, insights and outputs; promoting and developing the discourse around artistic research; incubating new ideas and developments; and offering support and inspiration to AEC members.

EPARM recognises that there is no one way to pursue artistic research in music. Nonetheless, at the core of all such research is the artistic practice itself, which functions not only as an object of study but as a source of significant questions and a means of pursuing original insights. It is an expectation that presentations at EPARM will include performance or the presentation of original work.

Join us in Tallinn and connect with your international colleagues while engaging in insightful conversations and thought-provoking discussions centered around this year’s topics:

  • Artistic Research that draws on, or brings into a new relationship, different musical fields (such as for example, Electroacoustic Music and Early Music) or contexts (such as for example, academic and health contexts)
  • The ethics of artistic practice and Artistic Research (for example, viewing them as sources of ethical decision-making)
  • How Artistic Research relates to artistic agency (individual and/or collective) in different settings
  • The practical and ethical considerations around Artistic Research that is co-created with other researchers, artists, audiences or the wider public.
