The next AEC European Platform for Artistic Research in Music will be held from 9 to 11 April 2026 at the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo (Norway).
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.
More information about the programme and abstracts, practical details, fees, registration, and other relevant topics will be published on this webpage in the coming months.
