VIETMUS is a two-years cooperation partnership project funded by the European Union and coordinated by Conservatorio Statale di Musica Alessandro Scarlatti in Palermo. The project aims to promote digital transformation and to create a new digital capacity in teaching and performing in the Vietnamese Higher Music Education (HME) landscape. It will do so by:

• Encouraging an easy and constant access to IT-based new practices

Specific objectives include:

• Creating a sustainable and inclusive digital capacity in Vietnam music HEIs targeting training and performing;
