When the first AIRE event of the IN.TUNE alliance took place in Vienna in November 2025, Professor Juha Ojala from the Sibelius Academy – Uniarts Helsinki followed proceedings with both enthusiasm and a keen critical eye.

AIRE (the Annual IN.TUNE Research in Education Event) united researchers, teachers and students to reflect on the future of research and research-based teaching. The University of the Arts Helsinki is responsible for coordinating the alliance’s research work package from 2024 to 2027. Ojala leads this effort and notes that the event meant far more to the alliance than simply a formal launch.

Teachers, supervisors and students across the IN.TUNE alliance are warmly invited to contribute to AIRE 2026 – the second Annual IN.TUNE Research in Education Event, which will focus on research education and supervision in master’s and doctoral programmes.

Teachers, researchers, master’s and doctoral students from all IN.TUNE partner universities can now submit abstracts for presentations. The AIRE 2026 event will take place on 8–9 April 2026 at the Norwegian Academy of Music.

The deadline for submissions is 19 January 2026.

Organised by Uniarts Helsinki within IN.TUNE’s Work Package 4, Strengthening our Research Dimension, AIRE 2026 will take place just before EPARM 2026 (European Platform for Artistic Research in Music), led by IN.TUNE’s associated partner, the European Association of Conservatoires (AEC).

On 3–4 November, the mdw – University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna hosted the first edition of AIRE – Annual IN.TUNE Research in Education Event: a two-day conference bringing together researchers, teachers and students from the eight partner institutions of the IN.TUNE European Alliance.

The gathering marked an important milestone in the alliance’s growing collaboration around music research and its resonance in educational practices across IN.TUNE universities, and introduced a new shared infrastructure – the IN.TUNE Knowledge Hub.
