International
Forum for Leadership of Music Institutions
IFLMI-2018 Theme: Online International Cooperation
The organizing committee welcomes proposals for presentations at the
Fourth International Forum for Leadership of Music Institutions (IFLMI,
formerly IMILF), to be held at Zhejiang Normal University, in Jinhua, China, on
May 19-21, 2018.
The International Forum for Leadership of Music Institutions (IFLMI) is a
unique biennial event that attracts Deans and Directors of music conservatories
and university schools of music worldwide for discussion of the latest issues
impacting higher education leadership in the field of music. IFLMI’s participants
come from Europe, North America, South America, Oceania, and across Asia for
keynote speeches, presentations, and panel discussions concerning new
approaches in this field. Previous meetings have been held in Beijing, China,
and Brisbane, Australia.
The conference theme
for IFLMI-2018 is Online International Cooperation, and we especially seek
participation from leaders of music institutions that are developing MOOCs or
other online education projects and interested in international cooperation. We
will consider proposals for both research-based and practical presentations
from music institution leaders, particularly those developing innovative forms
of Internet-based music collaboration. Presentations may be offered in either
English or Chinese, with simultaneous translation provided. Space is limited,
and only strong proposals from highly-qualified applicants will be accepted.
PARTIAL LIST OF KEYNOTES
AND INVITED SPEAKERS:
Gary McPherson (University of Melbourne),
Jiaxing Xie (China Conservatory), Pamela Burnard (Cambridge University),
Margaret Barrett (University of Queensland), Liane Hentschke (Federal
University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil), David Hebert (Western Norway University
of Applied Sciences), Alex Ruthmann (NYU), Boh-wah Leung (Hong Kong University
