This year’s AEC Congress highlighted topics such as quality enhancement, international collaborations, student involvement, diversity and inclusion, power relations, digitisation, artistic excellence, pre-college music education, environmental and mental sustainability, lifelong learning and artistic research. One of the spotlights at the plenary session was the different needs of addressing the new generations, the modernisation of teaching methods and the emerging issues of music education through artificial intelligence in the context of digitalisation. The event provided an opportunity to exchange ideas in the various working groups, panel discussions and presentations.
