Call for Workshops

The 2025 International Symposium on Computer Music Multidisciplinary Research (CMMR 2025) will be held at University College London, East Campus, from 3–7 November 2025. 

We invite the submission of workshop proposals related to all aspects of multidisciplinary fields regarding music and computers, particularly submissions matching this year’s main topic “Sound, Music: Space, Place”. 

The workshops are interactive sessions for the participants and those who would like to share their work. We invite workshop leaders to submit an idea for a focused hands-on group activity, such as, but not limited to, a roundtable or a participatory creative exchange. 

    Presentation environment

    Workshops will take place across a variety of spaces in UCL East Campus at Here East and UCL East (Marshgate). Please state if you have any special requirements and these can be discussed on a case-by-case basis. 

    CMMR can provide basic equipment (table and chairs, at least 1 power socket, WiFi connection). If you have any specific requirement (e.g., larger space, use of devices with high power consumption, such as projectors), please contact the chairs, although your request may or may not be accepted (subject to discussion with the chairs).
