Conference Presentation at the 3rd Research Symposium on the Social Impact of Making Music organised by CIPEM/INET-md and SIMM:

19-20.05.2018 | 10:00 to 18:00 | Porto Polytechnic Institute, College of Education, Portugal

The third SIMM-posium Porto 2018 will bring together researchers, practitioners interested in research, and policymakers concerned with social welfare, to build and strengthen a network of professionals wishing to deepen rigorous and evidence-based understanding of how active participatory music making may be used to bring social benefits to groups of individuals in diverse contexts and situations.

This network is one strand of activity of the recently formed International Centre for Social Impact of Making Music, founded at the University of Ghent, Belgium, but now operating as an independent scholarly association (www.simm-platform.eu) intended to involve institutional partners in various countries, which will support a programme of collaborative research training and development under the guidance of international experts in the field.
