 First Announcement



 To celebrate its 10th anniversary, ESCOM organizes from 5 to 8 April 2002
at the University of Liege (City center buildings), a conference around
MUSICAL CREATIVITY.




Organizers :      Marc Melen and Irene Deliege

Collaborations : Unite de Recherche en Psychologie de la Musique

                 Centre de Recherches et de Formation Musicales de Walloni

Founded in 1991, ESCOM has made constant efforts in order to promote the
Cognitive Sciences of Music through the organization of conferences namely,
triennial conferences, ICMPC in rotation with the Asian and American
societies), publications (books but also the journal MUSICAE SCIENTIAE),
symposiums, Master classes, etc. Thus, among ESCOM's initiatives, creativity
has always been a major priority. For this reason, it is quite natural that
we wished to focus the 10th anniversary meeting on that topic. We think that
conference are an interdisciplinary event, and we invite researchers working
on musical creativity, but also on other types of creativity to present and
discuss their ideas, their results, etc.

The University of Liege, ESCOM's birthplace, looks forward to welcoming you
for that event.

 The programme will involve four types of contributions:
- - keynote lectures approaching the topic of creativity according to
different perspectives
- - symposiums illustrating these main axes by empirical papers
- - spoken papers
- - posters

 The official languages of the conference are English and French. A
simultaneous translation will be organised for the keynotes and the
symposia.
