IN.TUNE was founded in the midst of various social developments that present both opportunities and challenges for higher music education and the cultural and creative sector. Changes in the situation of musicians and artists due to rapid technological developments, shifts in professional roles and increasingly insecure forms of funding for the cultural and creative sector require ongoing adaptation of pedagogical practices and strategic concepts of higher education institutions.
The work of the European University Alliance therefore revolves around four central topics: Joint education and mobility, research and innovation, social engagement, governance and collaboration.
These are addressed in eight work packages, with each partner institution leading one of them, while also actively participating in others. Together, the partner universities will develop strategies for preparing students for future working environments in the arts and culture sector. The focus will be placed in particular on knowledge transfer, audiovisuality and innovation in digitally supported mobility and cooperation formats.
