Nordic Network for the Integration of
Music Informatics, Performance and Aesthetics
NNIMIPA: Nordic Network for the Integration of Music Informatics, Performance and Aesthetics aims at shedding new light upon traditional and contemporary questions within music research employing approaches which regard music from a vantage point where information and communication are the focal points, aided by the tools under rapid development within information technology, practice-based research and the new perspectives arising within aesthetics as a result of new technologies for studying and producing music.
NNIMIPA was officially established during the 2007-2008 academic year, when funding provided by the University of Southern Denmark at Odense was matched by Nordplus in order to establish this Nordic cooperative initiative. Nordplus has continued to provide funding for NNIMIPA activities held during the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 academic years in the form of grants which have been matched by the participating institutions.
