Contributions

In July this year, the HIGH-M project had the opportunity to present itself with a poster at the 7. Netzwerktreffen des BayWISS-Verbundkollegs Gesundheit at OTH Regensburg. As a partner of the HIGH-M project and the associated dissertation, we are grateful for the support of the BayWISS-Verbundkolleg Gesundheit, which makes conference participation, publications and support with workshops possible for us.

 

The event featured exciting presentations by BayWISS Gesundheit doctoral students, including Luisa Falkenstörfer from the Würzburg-Schweinfurt University of Applied Sciences with her dissertation project ‘Autonomy Digital’. A particular highlight was the panel discussion on the role of ethics committees in Bavaria in between research and ethics. The work of the Gemeinsamen Ethikkommission der Hochschulen Bayerns (GEHBa) was emphasised, which acts free of charge as a central contact point for universities without an own ethics committee.

Last week the International Conference on Improvisation in Music Therapy (ICIMT) took place and HIGH-M had the pleasure to present itself!

 

As the first of its kind, the ICIMT presented a wide range of developments in research, training and practice of improvisation in music therapy at the beautiful, historic Campus Lemmens of the LUCA School of Arts in Leuven, Belgium. In addition to numerous keynotes by internationally renowned music therapists (Jan Van Camp, Jos De Backer, Karette Stensaeth, Helen Shoemark, Viggo Krüger, Jörg Fachner, Stine Lindahl Jacobsen, Felicity Baker and Jaakko Erkkilä), various facets of music therapy improvisation were represented in a range of presentations and workshops. 

 

The HIGH-M team, represented by Bastian Vobig, offered the opportunity to visit a presentation on "A Computational Approach to Interaction Type Analysis of Clinical Improvisations. From Assessment Profile to Process Assessment" and to ask critical questions.

 

Many thanks to all participants and the opportunity to be present at ICIMT!
