Throughout the session, the GIMUR delegation introduced the institute’s international network, emphasizing its role in connecting researchers, supporting collaborative initiatives, and facilitating access to research resources and publications.
The meeting also opened the door to future lines of collaboration, particularly in areas related to cultural studies, music education, and performative research. Both institutions expressed interest in developing joint activities that integrate artistic practice with research frameworks.
This visit reinforces GIMUR’s commitment to engaging with a wide range of musical traditions and institutions worldwide, fostering a global research environment that values diversity, knowledge exchange, and artistic innovation .
