NNIMIPA: Nordic Network for the Integration of Music Informatics, Performance and Aesthetics (www.nnimipa.org)

 

 

 

The Aesthetics of Music and Sound has been part of a formalized cooperation with other research institutions in Sweden and Finland since 2007 when NNIMIPA: The Nordic Network for the Integration of Music Informatics, Performance and Aesthetics (www.nnimipa.org) officially became a network under NordPlus. Norway joined the network in 2009, and as of the fall of 2010, when NNIMIPA became a network under NordForsk, Iceland also became a member, bringing all five Nordic countries into NNIMIPA. For a current list of participating institutions, please see here 

Prior to its official affiliation with NNIMIPA, fruitful cooperation with Iceland was established during the spring of 2010, with activities taking place in both Bifröst and Reykjavik.
