MusiQuE Training 2024 at AEC Congress
The MusiQuE Board and Office are looking forward to welcoming you to the next Peer Reviewers Training Workshop, on 17 October, 13 and 14 November 2024!
The workshop aims to offer elements of training and professional development to potential and confirmed MusiQuE Peer Reviewers: representatives of higher music education institutions, students in higher music education, representatives of music schools and representatives of organisations from the music profession – experienced or not – interested in becoming peer reviewers for MusiQuE in the future or in reflecting on their experience and practice as Peer Reviewers, or with a general interest in quality assurance and accreditation in conservatoires.
Representatives from performative arts departments affiliated to higher music education institutions are also invited to participate in the Training.
The training is delivered by MusiQuE Board members, the MusiQuE Office and by experienced MusiQuE Peer Reviewers.
More information on target audience and purposes of the training can be found here.
