Welcome to the AIRE 2025 – Annual IN.TUNE Research in Education Event on 3-4 November at mdw in Vienna!

IN.TUNE unites eight European universities in music and arts in an alliance to forge a joint, long-term strategy for excellence in education, research, innovation, and societal service. The IN.TUNE joint research cooperation activities, the Knowledge Hubs (KH), and Annual IN.TUNE Research in Education Events (AIRE) of IN.TUNE’s Work package (WP) 4, support transnational research collaboration, academic exchanges, and knowledge sharing across disciplines.

During the first AIRE at mdw, there will be contributions from all eight IN.TUNE partner universities, with a focus on enabling discussions, comparisons, and exchange across different practices. The aim is to learn from each other and to foster future collaboration in research, with a particular focus on linking research to education.

On 18 September, IN.TUNE will feature on the opening day of the 25th AEC International Relations Coordinators’ Meeting at the Liszt Academy of Music, Budapest, with the first AEC Talk, Charting Currents of Change: IN.TUNE’s Compass for Collaborative Innovation. In it, the Alliance co-Secretary General Tone Jordhus (Norwegian Academy of Music) will share a practical compass for collaborative innovation — how long-term, artistically led cooperation turns internationalisation into everyday impact across our institutions. 

On Tuesday 8 July 2025, the INTUNE Library Network was presented at the International Association of Music Libraries, Archives and Documentation Centres (IAML) Congress in Salzburg, Austria. The poster session, held during the morning break, featured a joint contribution from Martie Severt (Royal Conservatoire The Hague), Johan Jørgensen (Norwegian Academy of Music), and Montserrat Urpí-Cámara (Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya), representing the eight libraries that form part of the INTUNE alliance.

The first IN.TUNE Governance Week will take place from June 16-19, 2025 at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris. This important week will bring together core alliance management bodies to deepen collaboration, align on strategic priorities, and shape the future of IN.TUNE. Over the course of four days, alliance-wide groups including the Governing Board, Executive Committee, Strategy Working Group, Student Council, and Alliance Management Team will gather in Paris, bringing together leadership, faculty, staff, and students from all partner universities.
