Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that the Call for Papers and Music is
now open for the Sound and Music Computing Conference 2026 (SMC26), taking place in Zagreb,
Croatia, as part of the Music Biennale Zagreb (MBZ).
Deadline: March 13, 2026 (for
both paper and music submissions)
This edition's theme, INTERPLAY,
will explore the evolving relationships between humans, machines, and sonic environments, and how these dynamic exchanges influence contemporary artistic and scientific practices.
SMC26 will include:
- A 3-day scientific conference with
keynote lectures, paper sessions, concerts, and installations (November 5–7, 2026)
- A 3-day winter school (November 2–4,
2026), designed as a space for students, researchers, and artists to connect, collaborate, and exchange ideas ahead of the main event.
We would be truly grateful if you could share this announcement within your network and with anyone who might be interested in submitting.
We look forward to receiving your proposals and welcoming you to Zagreb in 2026.
Wishing you a joyful and restful holiday season!
Kind regards,
Dr. Davor Vincze
Conference Chair, SMC26
Artistic Co-Director of MBZ
