This research-seminar welcomed a small group of 9 post-graduate students, early-career researchers as well as experienced researchers – who are all involved in ongoing research on the possible role of music in social and community music programmes – to spend a 3-day seminar during which they shared their research experiences with each other.

The following facilitators helped the sharing of experiences and ideas and research methodologies: Dr. Imogen Flower (Irene Taylor Trust / Guildhall School of Music, UK), Dr. Graça Mota (IPP-CIPEM Porto, PT) and Prof. Dr. Lukas Pairon (Chair Jonet / CESAMM, Ghent University, BE).
