ABOUT ORPHEUS RESEARCH CENTRE IN MUSIC
| MISSION | |
 |
The Orpheus Research Centre in Music is based at the Orpheus Institute in Ghent, Belgium. |
ORCiM's mission is to produce and promote the highest quality research into music, and in particular into the processes of music-making and our understanding of them.
The Orpheus Institute encourages research that is embedded in and incorporates musical practice and which is primarily guided by artistic objectives and aesthetic interests. By opening up new areas of musical inquiry, by developing and implementing new tools for artistic research and by generating new research on specific topics relevant to musical practice, the Orpheus Institute is a pioneer in the world of research and higher education in music in Europe.
With its research centre the Orpheus Institute aims to provide a strong and supportive international research environment generating new knowledge in-and-through musical practice. Therefore the Orpheus Institute actively promotes and facilitates interaction and collaboration between ORCiM research fellows and other artistic researchers across disciplines, institutions and national boundaries.
