It was founded in 1973 as a forum for all persons and institutions involved in Austrian musicology and currently numbers around 250 members both nationwide and abroad. Its goals are to intensify musicological research within the scope of conferences and publications (in particular with participation by younger scholars) and to promote cooperation among all musicological disciplines, with special emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches.
