Dissemination
The communication and dissemination plan of the Chair aims to raise awareness and make available to different audiences various topics related to the challenges and possibilities of AI in the creation, production, education, and consumption of music.
The dissemination content is aimed at different types of audiences: research and academic, professionals and companies in the music and technology sectors, and the general public.
The main dissemination activities are:
- Publications in academic journals and conferences
- Organization of our own dissemination activities
- Participation in external activities and events
- Concerts and demos
The data generated from the research activities will be managed and shared according to the UPF-BMAT Chair on Artificial Intelligence and Music Data Management Plan
