Scientific World Explores Music is the motto of the Worldwide Music Conference.
Worldwide Music Conference (WWMC) brings together scientists from various fields (music theory, biology, psychology, ethnography, mathematics, acoustics, and others) to make their achievements in music studies available to the entire music research community, to help them find connections for further research and spread their discoveries.
WWMC aims to increase the effectiveness and intensity of connections between different disciplines in music research.
WWMC welcomes the intention to attract interest in your subject of study, to popularize your ideas and discoveries.
WWMC unites
- Music theorists who explore music by means of musicology.
- Musical theorists, who rely on natural science, use mathematical approaches.
- Experts in various fields of knowledge, such as physiology, neurology, psychology, mathematics, acoustics, who turn to the problems of human musical activity, musical perception, animal sound activity and its analogies with music.
- Anthropologists, ethnographers, and paleographers exploring the origins and evolution of musical thinking, the diversity of its forms and appearances in different cultures and at different times.
