As IN.TUNE enters its second year, we take a moment to reflect on the achievements that have shaped the foundation of the alliance. Bringing together eight leading European universities in music and the arts, IN.TUNE has become a space for innovation, knowledge exchange, and stronger transnational cooperation.

enhance teaching skills to educate and coach music students in an artistic
environment, promote inclusion, and support sustainable careers in
academia.
