About the Symposium
The next International Symposium on Performance Science, ISPS 2023, is will be hosted by the Medical University of Warsaw and the Chopin University of Music on 17–20 August 2023.
The ISPS 2023 theme, Performance Care and Careers, is intended to encourage discussion and debate on connections between performance, wellbeing, and society. Specific research topics, fields of study, and methodological approaches have been left open intentionally to encourage interdisciplinary exchange.
We intend to offer both on-site and electronic presentation options, although the former will depend on possible restrictions on public meetings and international travel in place at the time of the event.
The official language of the conference is English.
The conference digital platform is Fourwaves »
