Dear colleagues,

the *Fourth International Conference on Computational and Cognitive
Musicology* <https://digital.musicology.org/icccm-2026/>* (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.

*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), which deepen our understanding of music.

*Keynote:* We are happy to announce that the keynote will be given by
Artemi-Maria
Gioti <https://www.artemigioti.com/>, composer and researcher at Mozarteum
Salzburg.

*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.

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.

*Student attendance grants:* Submitting students can apply for a student
grant to partially cover their expenses. Please apply by email to <
benjamin.henzel at uni-wuerzburg.de < benjamin.henzel at uni-wuerzburg.de>> by
June 15, 2026 with the following information:

   -

   Title of the submitted abstract
   -

   Declaration of need (no own or institutional funding etc.)
   -

   Proof of student status (PhD and below; attach document)
