This track will focus on the intersection of music, technology, and accessibility, bringing together experts, innovators, and advocates from diverse fields to explore the potential of making digital music more accessible to all. The Accessible Digital Music Network Network (ADMN) was born from a Symposium organized by the University Jean Monnet Saint-Etienne (France) in May 2024. The Symposium was dedicated to an exchange of experiences between operators interested in Accessible Digital Musical Instruments, their use, design and evaluation. The exchange has proved to be very fruitful and promising for future developments. So it was decided to create a Network that can connect various operators, researchers and designers, in order to compare the different approaches and share the results of their experiences= .
