Conference OverviewThe Third International Conference on Computational 
and Cognitive Musicology (ICCCM2025) will take place at Aalborg 
University, Denmark, on October 8–10, 2025. Following editions in Athens 
(2023) and Utrecht (2024), ICCCM2025 invites researchers to explore the 
intersection of musicology, computational methods and cognitive science 
in advancing our understanding of music and musical processes.

Conference Theme: "Getting to Grips with Musical Complexity"

This year’s theme encourages submissions addressing large and complex 
musical works or insights from diverse digital music collections. We 
especially welcome research using innovative computing paradigms (e.g., 
massive parallelism, quantum computing) to tackle challenges in 
musicology and music cognition. However, as in previous years, we remain 
fully open to any research that advances our understanding of music 
through computational approaches.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  *

    Computational modeling of musical history using big data

  *

    Theories of musical structure implemented computationally

  *

    Computational approaches to the study of music perception and cognition

  *

    Automatic music transcription

  *

    Computational music analysis

  *

    Digital representation of musical information

  *

    Development and use of digital corpora for musicological research

  *

    Health-related applications of music computing

  *

    Computational ethnomusicology

  *

    Teaching computational and digital musicology

  *

    User experience design for musicological tools

ICCCM stands out for its focus on fundamental research rather than 
application-driven perspectives, distinguishing it from conferences like 
ISMIR, MCM, or ICMPC. Its small size and informal atmosphere make it 
especially welcoming to early-stage researchers, who have been a 
significant presence at past editions.

Submission Guidelines

We invite submission of abstracts (max. 300 words + max 1 page of 
references) for oral presentations and posters, outlining research 
questions, methods, and contributions.

  *

    Submission Deadline: June 30th, 2025

  *

    Notification: July 15th, 2025

  *

    Submission: Send your abstract as a PDF file to dave at create.aau.dk
    <mailto:dave at create.aaud.dk>

Each abstract should include the following information:

  *

    Title

  *

    Name, affiliation and email address of each author

  *

    Text of abstract (300 words maximum)

  *

    Reference list (max 1 page)

  *

    Authors may optionally also include up to one figure

  *

    A statement as to whether you prefer to present orally or as a poster

There will be a light-weight review procedure regarding match to the aim 
of the conference, originality and quality of the proposal, and variety 
in content. Since space is restricted, we will also take order of 
submission into account.

Accepted abstracts will be published online, with authors invited to 
submit extended papers for a special issue of the Journal of New Music 
Research.

Travel stipends

Authors of accepted papers whose travel and accommodation will not be 
funded by their employer or a grant and have no other source of funding 
to cover the expenses they incur as a result of attending the 
conference, are eligible to apply for a grant to help with covering 
these costs. If you would like to be considered for one of these grants, 
please include a note to this effect in your submission email.

Acknowledgements

The conference is generously supported by the Carlsberg Foundation, 
grant CF24-2307.
