Partnerships and Networks

The importance of INET-md’s (Instituto de Etnomusicologia – Centro de Estudos em Música e Dança) national and international research partnerships and networks lies in their ability to promote the exchange of knowledge, interdisciplinary collaboration and scientific innovation. These partnerships enrich research, broaden cultural and technological horizons and strengthen the global impact of scientific discoveries, contributing to a more integrated and sustainable development of the arts and humanities.
