The ESCOM Triennial Conferences take place every three years in Europe.

Every second ESCOM Triennial Conference is organised together with ICMPC, the International Conference on Music Perception and Cognition.

In addition to the three-year cycle, there are occasional anniversary conferences such as the 10th Anniversary Conference in Liège in 2002 and the 25th Anniversary Conference in Ghent.

We accept the main findings of current climate science and their urgent implications for academic conference culture, and are acting accordingly.

 

We therefore aim for ESCOM conferences to have a relatively low carbon footprint.

Our climate action also promotes the accessibility and cultural diversity of our events and improves the quality and quantity of our academic output by combining virtual and live participation, for example by holding multi-hub conferences.

Our green and inclusive conferencing project was nominated for the green impact national awards and has been chosen as the runner-up for the Environmental Improvement Award.

We are encouraging international colleagues to follow our lead.
