Digital Music Research Network

Since 2006, Digital Music Research Network has used the following types of Good Practice:

Summary

Launched by collaborative teams from UK universities, and coordinated by Queen Mary, University of London, the Digital Music Research Network aims to promote research in this area, by bringing together researchers from UK universities and industry in electronic engineering, computer science, and music.

Objectives

The specific objectives of the Network are:

    * To improve communication between Network members, so that members are kept up to date with relevant research activity both within the UK and internationally
    * To develop a research roadmap for musical signal processing and its research applications, to assess the current state of the art and assess likely future research directions
    * To assist in training and development of new researchers in this area
    * To disseminate the research activity in the Network to potential beneficiaries and external collaborators such as industry and international groups
    * To develop and implement an exit strategy to maintain the activity of the Network following completion of the 3-year EPSRC funding.

Added value

The activities of the Network include: workshops and meetings, visits to conferences and other laboratories (particularly for younger researchers), and electronic communication such as email and a web site. An important Network activity is the production of a "Research Roadmap" to help future research planning and inform funding bodies on the state of the art and future opportunities.
