The 2024 Musica Scotica Study Day will provide an opportunity for undergraduate and postgraduate students to share their work on music in/from Scotland, and to network with peers and established researchers working in this field.
Registration is free, but is required so we can manage numbers and to provide links for those attending remotely. Tea/coffee will be provided, but we are not providing lunch: you are welcome to bring a packed lunch, and there are various shops and eateries close to the venue as well.
The deadline for submissions has now passed, and the provisional programme can be found below.
