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 continued to provide funding for NNIMIPA activities held during the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 academic years in the form of grants which were matched by the participating institutions. NNIMIPA became a research network under NordForsk (www.nordforsk.org) on September 1, 2010, with funding during 2010-2013. The decision to award the grant was made by the director of NordForsk following an evaluation carried out by a panel of independent experts. The grant was subsequently extended until June 30, 2014.

www.nnimipa.org was launched on February 23, 2010 as a central site for disseminating information about NNIMIPA and for documenting the activities of the network since its inception in 2007.

Grund cmgrund@sdu.dk   Please note that this is the way the website for    NNIMIPA Nordic Network for the Integration of Music Informatics, Performance and Aesthetics   appeared as of June 30, 2014, the concluding date for the period during which the network was funded by NordForsk 2010-2014. Founded in 2007, NNIMIPA was initially funded by NordPlus. This website was started in February 2010 while NNIMIPA was still a NordPlus network, and it contains extensive documentation of the activities within NNIMIPA from its inception in 2007 until the final date for the NordForsk grant in June 2014.      The contacts that were established among researchers in the Nordic area and beyond through NNIMIPA have resulted in myriad cooperative research efforts. A significant number of these activities continue to be documented on the website www.soundmusicresearch.org which you  are most welcome to visit.   (For Google Calendar, please see HERE.)     News Archive HERE.
