Dear colleagues,


the Fourth International Conference on Computational and Cognitive Musicology (ICCCM 2026) will take place at Centre for Philology and Digitality<https://www.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/zpd/> at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg, Germany, on September 21-23, 2026. Following editions in Athens (2023), Utrecht (2024), and Aalborg (2025), ICCCM 2026 invites researchers to explore the intersection of musicology, computational methods and cognitive science for advancing our understanding of music in all its facets.


Key Information for Authors:

  *   Submission Types: Abstracts (300 words excl. references) for oral presentations or posters
  *   Submission Deadline: June 1, 2026
  *   Notification of Acceptance: June 15, 2026
  *   Submission portal: available soon - see conference website: https://digital.musicology.org/icccm-2026/
  *   Publication: Accepted abstracts published online; slides and posters may be published online after the conference.


Conference Theme: "Studying Music Across Time, Space, and Cultures"


This year’s theme specifically encourages submissions addressing the diversity of music in its historical, geographical, and cultural dimensions.

We welcome submissions involving computational and/or cognitive methods (in a broad sense) that deepen our understanding of music.


Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  *   Computational modeling of musical evolution over time

  *   Computational ethnomusicology

  *   Cognitive 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

  *   Teaching computational and digital musicology

  *   User experience design for musicological tools

ICCCM focuses on fundamental research rather than application-driven perspectives. Its small size and informal atmosphere make it especially welcoming to early-stage researchers, as their presence at past editions has shown.
