According to the idea of open science, contents of research shall be communicated more broadly, to make scientific processes accessible and intelligible to all interested parties and to adress both scientists, practitioners and artists. In close collaboration with various partners results obtained from research are integrated into formal and informal educational offerings. Conversely our partners contribute their expertise and experiences to research, thus maximizing synergy effects of positive mutual influence. The »Research Center for Mobile Music Making & App Music« aims at interdisciplinary cooperations with scientists and practitioners.

The basic objective of the »Research Center for Mobile Music Making & App Music« is to systematize the hardly explored field of forms of musical practice with apps, identify connections to current trends in contemporary art and music and explore social dimensions and impact on music education. Furthermore we seek to communicate scientific contents more broadly, help all interested parties understand the scientific processes and involve both, partners in science and the realm of practice.
