The Sound and Music Computing summer school promotes interdisciplinary
education and research in the field of Sound and Music Computing. It
is aimed at graduate students working on their Master or PhD thesis,
but it is also open to any person carrying out research in this field.
The 2014 SMC Summer School will take place in Athens, Greece, right
before the SMC/ICMC Conference, between the 11th and 14th of September
2014.

The topic of the summer school is Computational Music Analysis.

Maximum 20 participants will be selected to attend. If you are a PhD
student in music information retrieval, musicology, music, music
psychology, computer science, engineering, and related disciplines,
you might find this summer school particularly exciting and helpful
towards the completion of your degree. If you work in MIR, you might
find that this year's musicological orientation of the summer school
gives a new perspective to your current work. If you are a computer
scientist or engineer, you will gain an understanding of music
analysis methodologies and how to apply your skills in the analysis of
music.
