The organising committee of the Orpheus Doctoral Conference 2020 decided to postpone the conference until autumn 2020 due to the ongoing global public health crisis. New dates will be announced as soon as possible, after which the call will be re-opened to additional proposals through late June.

The Orpheus Institute launches a second run of its MOOC on Artistic Research in Music. A MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) is a free online course available for anyone to enroll. The MOOC on Artistic Research in Music offers an introduction to the most relevant research tools, techniques and methodologies as well as the key concepts of artistic research in music.

The course includes several videos with former and current docARTES students and teachers.

Available on edX from 16 September 2019 until 14 June 2020.
