15th International Conference on Music Perception and Cognition
July 23, 2018 – July 28, 2018The International Conference on Music Perception and Cognition (ICMPC) is an event that promotes dissemination of new and interdisciplinary research in Music Psychology, which large encompass, high academic level, and international character has made it the most important conference in the world for researchers in cognitive sciences of music. We are glad to announce that in July 2018, the National University of La Plata will be the Latin American hub of ICMPC15/ESCOM10.
The realization of the ICMPC15/ESCOM10 in Argentina adds to a series of activities promoted by local researchers on Music Psychology, a field of study of long history and current development in Latin America. On the one hand, the Argentinian Society for the Cognitive Sciences of Music (SACCoM) is in the last 17 years so far one of the main organizations in South America responsible for disseminating research on music perception and cognition. SACCoM periodically organizes the Encounter for the Cognitive Sciences of Music (ECCoM), an event of international scope in which researchers on music perception and cognition from all Latin America participate, and whose 13th edition has been realized on September 2017. On the other hand, the research team of the Laboratory for the Study of Musical Experience (LEEM), located in Faculty of Fine Arts of National University of La Plata, promote the field developing a corpus of research that has local and international impact, and organizing events for its dissemination. On April, LEEM was the hub of Global Arts and Psychology Seminar (GAPS) an event that involved five universities of different parts of the world connected by streaming, interacting during presentations, questions and discussion of works. Four of that universities will be hubs of ICMPC15/ESCOM10 in 2018.
Both ICMPC and ESCOM conferences (European Society of Cognitive Sciences of Music) have progressively centralized a great amount of research on music perception and cognition. For the above-mention reason, and also with the desire of promoting inclusion and interculturality on international events which calls for papers have global scope, ICMPC15/ESCOM10 will take place between 23th to 28th July 2018,simultaneously on four locations, continuously communicated through Internet: La Plata (Argentina), Graz (Austria), Montreal (Canada) y Sydney (Australia).

11th Symposium of International Urban Planning and Environment Association - IUPEA
The International Urban Planning and Environment Association - IUPEA - was founded in 1993 with the purpose of developing and expanding ways in which urban planning could improve environmental quality. With this goal, IUPEA stimulates dialogues on the links between the sustainability of cities and their paths of development, the quality of the environment and the frameworks and practices of urban and regional planning. It also encourages research and supports its communication and dissemination through a systematic program of publications and symposiums for discussing experiences and initiatives to substantially improve living conditions in cities.
Since its foundation, IUPEA organized and led 10 International Symposiums in USA (Seattle, 1994), Netherlands (Gröningen, 1997), South Africa (Pretoria, 1999), Israel (Jerusalem, 2001), England (Oxford, (2002), USA (Louisville, 2004), Thailand (Bangkok, 2007), Germany (Kaiserslautern, 2009), China (Guangzhou, 2010) and Australia (Sydney, 2012). English has been the official language in all of them.
UPE 11 is the first IUPEA Symposium to be held in Latin America, a region where intense and turbulent transformations - in political, social, economic, cultural and territorial domains - have taken place along the last 30-40 years; where institutional frameworks of urban planning and management have a low degree of consolidation, and where the more significant contents and meanings of urban and environmental agendas are of a predominantly social nature.
UPE 11 is conceived as a platform to share and debate different regional and local expressions of current socio-territorial and environmental crises, trends and choices. It will also provide a space to explicitly state and compare different conceptual and methodological approaches and distinctive instruments and policies as well as to critically assess results achieved throughout different urbanization processes in diverse cultural and political urban and national settings.
UPE 11 is a discussion framework wherein Spanish, Portuguese and English will all serve as official Symposium languages. This will allow significant players involved in the study, planning and management of the city and the environment - researchers, public officials, planners, educators and civil society organizations in specific national contexts in the global North, inside and outside Latin America - to express
their singular cultures, how they build specific agendas, how they conceive and implement practices and management modes of their own.
Given this backdrop, UPE 11 attempts to discern what similar and divergent answers we may give to the questions that we share and - not less significant - what issues and what inquiries differentiate our contexts and our approaches. It will also allow us to compare, share and critically discuss various views and ideological perspectives, political orientations, theoretical and methodological approaches, institutional frameworks, decisional processes and practical answers applied to the planning and management of territorial and environmental sustainability and social equity, in multiple urban scales, amidst complex, uncertain and turbulent scenarios we all face.
