Subject: [AUDITORY] Final Call for Abstracts: ICCCM 2026, W=?UTF-8?Q?=C3=BCrzburg=2C_?=Germany, September 21-23 From: Fabian Moss <fabianmoss@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 4 May 2026 10:17:55 +0200--0000000000000110ac0650f992e9 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable [Apologies for cross-posting] Dear colleagues, the *Fourth International Conference on Computational and Cognitive Musicology* <https://digital.musicology.org/icccm-2026/>* (ICCCM 2026)* will take place at Centre for Philology and Digitality <https://www.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/zpd/> at Julius-Maximilians-Universit=C3= =A4t W=C3=BCrzburg, Germany, on September 21-23, 2026. Following editions in Ath= ens (2023), Utrecht (2024), and Aalborg (2025), ICCCM 2026 invites researchers to explore the intersection of musicology, computational methods and cognitive science for advancing our understanding of music in all its facets. *Key Information for Authors* - Submission Types: Abstracts (300 words excl. references) for oral presentations or posters - Submission Deadline: June 1, 2026 - Notification of Acceptance: June 15, 2026 - Submission portal: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/icccm26 - Registration: There will be no registration fee. The registration portal will open with the notification of acceptance. Participants need to register by August 10 - Publication: Accepted abstracts published online; slides and posters may be published online after the conference *Conference Theme: "Studying Music Across Time, Space, and Cultures"* This year=E2=80=99s theme specifically encourages submissions addressing th= e diversity of music in its historical, geographical, and cultural dimensions. We welcome submissions involving computational and/or cognitive methods (in a broad sense), which deepen our understanding of music. *Keynote:* We are happy to announce that the keynote will be given by Artemi-Maria Gioti <https://www.artemigioti.com/>, composer and researcher at Mozarteum Salzburg. *Topics of interest include, but are not limited to*: - Computational modeling of musical evolution over time - Computational ethnomusicology - Cognitive theories of musical structure implemented computationally - Computational approaches to the study of music perception and cognition - Automatic music transcription - Computational music analysis - Digital representation of musical information - Development and use of digital corpora for musicological research - Health-related applications of music computing - Teaching computational and digital musicology - User experience design for musicological tools ICCCM focuses on fundamental research rather than application-driven perspectives. Its small size and informal atmosphere make it especially welcoming to early-stage researchers, as their presence at past editions has shown. There will be a light-weight review procedure regarding match to the aim of the conference, originality and quality of the proposal, and variety in content. *Student attendance grants:* Submitting students can apply for a student grant to partially cover their expenses. Please apply by email to < benjamin.henzel@xxxxxxxx < benjamin.henzel@xxxxxxxx>> by June 15, 2026 with the following information: - Title of the submitted abstract - Declaration of need (no own or institutional funding etc.) - Proof of student status (PhD and below; attach document) *Contact* Stay tuned to the conference website ( https://digital.musicology.org/icccm-2026/) for updates. For general queries regarding the conference, contact the conference chair, Fabian Moss <fabian.moss@xxxxxxxx> or Christof Wei=C3=9F < christof.weiss@xxxxxxxx>. We look forward to your contributions to ICCCM2026! On behalf of the Organizing Committee, Fabian C.
