IN.TUNE

The Norwegian Academy of Music and seven other music education institutions form the first European university alliance in music – IN.TUNE.

Together, IN.TUNE will develop new ways of educating musicians and artists – across national borders, disciplines and institutions.

Project period: 2024–2027, with the possibility of extension.

The music and arts sector is changing rapidly. Technology, new ways of working and global challenges are placing new demands on our educational programmes.

IN.TUNE has been established to

  • strengthen quality in education, research and artistic research
  • equip students for a professional life in constant change
  • explore how music and the arts can contribute in addressing global challenges such as climate change, geopolitical uncertainty and social inequality
  • promote diversity, inclusion and equality in higher education

The aim is for IN.TUNE to become a pioneering model for the higher music education of the future – within and beyond Europe.

IN.TUNE brings together eight universities of music and the arts, committed to developing a shared long-term strategy with a strong artistic dimension for high-quality education, research, development and societal engagement, and to becoming a model of excellence for higher education in Europe and beyond.

How does it all connect?

IN.TUNE is not a standalone project, but part of the EU’s European Universities Initiative – a long-term European strategy for higher education. It is co-funded by the European Commission through Erasmus+.

About the European Universities Initiative (EUI)

The European Universities Initiative aims to strengthen collaboration and networking between higher education institutions across Europe. The initiative facilitates:

  • the development of joint degree programmes and curricula
  • increased mobility for students and staff
  • the sharing of knowledge, methods and best practice
  • closer cooperation between universities and the societies around them

European University Alliances

With the most recent allocation, the EU has now established 65 European university alliances, 12 of which include Norwegian participation.
