Apply for NIME 2026 Student Consortium - Deadline: 3/5/2026 (Final Reminder)
Kevin Austin
Dear colleagues and students,
We're writing with a final reminder to apply for the NIME 2026 Student Consortium, an event dedicated to students who wish to engage more deeply with the New Instruments for Musical Expression community and receive constructive feedback on their instrument design research projects.
The Student Consortium is a unique opportunity for undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students to:
Learn more about the NIME community, its background, values, and ongoing research directions
- Discover the diversity of approaches and topics explored within NIME, from artistic practice to technical and theoretical research
- Present their own work-in-progress in a supportive and interdisciplinary environment
- Receive detailed feedback and advice from peers and senior researchers
Better understand how to prepare and submit contributions to NIME, and how to position their work within the community
The Student Consortium is especially designed for students who are at an early or mid-stage of their project and would benefit from discussion rather than formal publication. It is an ideal moment to present your project, ideas, prototypes, or questions, and to refine your research direction before submitting to future NIME conferences or related venues.
