Framework
This seminar is the second research school seminar in the short history of GRS and will be co-hosted with HSH as the third Rommetveit Seminar. The venue for the seminar, the Stord/Haugesund campus on Rommetveit is situated in the very middle of the Norwegian Fjord Country at the opening of the famous Hardanger Fjord. A social programme with reception, seminar dinner and excursions is also part of this June seminar.

Grieg Research School in Interdisciplinary Music Studies is a new network –based research school set up by some of the MusicNet West institutions in Western Norway and co-ordinated by the University of Bergen.

The focus for the seminar reflects our interest in studying and understanding music as a part of what can be described as the qualities, effects and processes associated with creative and arts-based experience, awareness, discovery, production and learning.

The seminar will include keynotes, presentations, mini-courses and discussions aiming to constitute an informed platform for an enhanced inquiry and understanding of the nature and characteristics of aesthetic and creative learning processes, and how such processes interact with other forms and models of knowledge and learning processes, in schools, in art communities, in health care and in other sectors of society.

More about the theme of the research seminar
The theme of the seminar; Aesthetic and Creative Learning Processes: For all? Anywhere? suggests our interest in disciplinary, interdisciplinary as well as democratic aspects of this knowledge domain and corresponding learning processes. Important questions to be asked are: How are the meanings of aesthetic and creative learning processes shaped by different contexts and expressions and how are such processes best studied, analyzed and described? Are aesthetic and creative learning processes accessible for all or just for the chosen few, and can they be experienced and utilized anywhere or just in specially designed environments? And what are the potential effects of aesthetic and creative learning processes for the individual and society at large?

Venue, travel and accommodation
Participation in the research seminar is free for all PhD candidates who are members of GRS, and for higher education staff and other delegates from the owner institutions. Delegates from other institutions will have to pay a seminar fee of NOK 1000.
