The International Music Research Summer School will be held in Oslo, but the initiative comes from Bergen and Grieg Research School.

"We really saw the need for a meeting place that discusses some critical issues within the field of music. We ought to discuss how we want to work, how to get funding, and for whom the research is for, so actually the summer school will address some very political questions," says leader of Grieg Research School, professor at The Grieg Academy – Department of Music, Jill Halstead Hjørnevik.
