On 3 September, the IN.TUNE European University Alliance was present in Trento at the AEC Conference for International Relations Coordinators (IRCs), showcasing the new educational formats developed within the alliance. 

The Paris Conservatoire is one of the eight institutions that make up the European alliance IN.TUNE, dedicated to higher education in music and the arts. Each season, we devote an article to one of the member schools, to better understand these partners and what their way of working can teach us about our own. After Belgrade last year, this second stop takes us to Oslo, to the Norwegian Academy of Music, which coordinates the alliance’s long-term strategy. There, we discover degree programmes in which music therapy holds the same status as performance, the legacy of a decision made in 1973 to educate “broadly” rather than produce only a handful of virtuosos, and a way of thinking about education, quality, and the social role of music: all reflections shared by conservatoires across Europe.

In May 2026, Vienna became, for several days, a meeting place for ideas, people, and visions shaping the future of arts education in Europe. Hosted by the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (mdw), the IN.TUNE Summit 2026 brought together representatives of all eight partner institutions of the alliance – members of the Governing Board, Student Council, work packages, working groups, and associated partners (Superar, Musethica, Mad Head Games, CEBEF, AEC, Ukrainian National Tchaikovsky Academy of Music, FisMe, Institut del Teatre, and the Union of Composers of Romania).
