AcadeMeet is an education meeting platform at Soundtrack_Cologne, for higher education institutions, lecturers and professors, and their students focussing on media music and sound design. The meetings are held at a special meeting in Soundtrack_Cologne, and are headed by Dr. Yati Durant (composer and director of IMMSANE).
Formerly called EEAMS, AcadeMeet has been a leading yearly meeting for European colleagues since 2014. The meetings enable discussions on cross-institutional practice, generate International collaborations, and also offer current research and dialogue in contemporary media music practices. The International Media Music and Sound Arts Network in Education (IMMSANE) was founded through AcadeMeet, and also holds their yearly European Institutional meetings there.
All industry colleagues and Soundtrack_Cologne 22 participants are also welcome to the meetings by invitation.
The next AcadeMeet takes place during Soundtrack_Cologne 22 on 9th and 10th of July, 2025.
