RESEARCH in MUSIC
 |
 |
In addition to postgraduate education, the Orpheus Institute provides an open international forum for research in music, in an environment that nourishes innovation and creativity in music, paired with the extension of knowledge and artistic understanding. Orpheus Institute supports individual artist-researchers, generates artistic outcomes and publications, organizes conferences, workshops and seminars and promotes collaborative research projects across disciplines, institutions and national boundaries. Orpheus Institute launched its own Research Centre in Music in May 2007.
The Orpheus Research Centre in Music [ORCiM] focuses on practice-based research in music and addresses discipline-specific questions. By explicitly laying the foundations for this artistic research discipline, thereby developing the tools necessary for artistic research of the highest standard, ORCiM assumes a unique role in the world of research and higher education of music.
INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH FORUM
On an international level the Orpheus Institute actively initiates and encourages close collaboration with other higher music institutions and music research centres. Since its founding, the Orpheus Institute has been and leading advocate for the development of practice-based research and doctoral studies for musicians and has launched or collaborated on a number of important Europe-wide initiatives.
