The Institute of Musical Research is holding a training conference which unites postgraduate music students for the expansion and exploration of the multi-faceted discipline of musical studies.  INTERCONNECTIONS aims to provide a friendly and constructive atmosphere within a formal structure where students can present research and receive critical feedback. The conference builds on the collaborative and interdisciplinary platform of the IMR, providing an opportunity for students of music to come in contact with a variety of subjects whilst serving as a base to connect with other postgraduates.

This conference is organised by the IMR student representatives:

Elina G. Hamilton (Bangor University), Mats Küssner (King's College, London)
