Dear presenters,

We are very pleased to announce that our conference “Jazz Re:Search in 21st-Century Academia and Beyond” will take place as a live conference from June 9 to 12 2022 – a very warm welcome to everyone who will join us in Graz! Here is the revised schedule.

We would like to remind you that conference registration is now open. If you have not already registered, we kindly ask you to do so following this link: https://www.aanmelder.nl/128370/admin/registrationform

After more than two years of the pandemic, we are determined to host a face-to-face conference – with the aim of “bringing researchers together”, to quote the Rhythm Changes motto. Nevertheless, the pandemic has not (yet) vanished, so we plan to stream parts of the conference (including both keynotes as well as selected sessions) via Zoom for participants unable to attend due to health issues. Currently, we are working on technical solutions to enable interaction between presenters and audiences on-site and online. More information about online modalities will follow, also concerning the registration to a reduced fee.

Furthermore, we can inform you that most COVID regulations are suspended in Austria. There are no restrictions for bars and restaurants in Graz, at KUG wearing a face mask is recommended. In due time, you will receive an update concerning the current regulations.

We are very looking forward to meeting you all in June!

With warm regards

Benjamin Burkhart and Philipp Schmickl (on behalf of the conference organizing team)
