Travel
People travelling to Sweden from the UK or other countries outside the EU/EEA will no longer be required to present a negative COVID-19 test or proof of vaccination. From 1 April 2022, COVID-19 is no longer classified in Sweden as a threat to public health and a danger to society. Although the pandemic is not over, it has entered a new phase thanks to high vaccination coverage in combination with the lower risk of serious illness that the currently dominant virus variant omicron poses. Sweden has therefore lifted the entry ban from all countries due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This also means that the requirement to present vaccination and a test certificate upon entry into Sweden has been removed.
If you travel to Sweden from UK or other countries outside the Schengen area you must meet the Schengen area rules. Please note that your passport must be less than 10 years old on the day you enter (check the ‘date of issue’) and valid for at least 3 months after the day you plan to leave (check the ‘expiry date’). Although many can travel to Sweden and stay for up to three months without a visa, citizens of some countries must have a visa before entering the Schengen area. For more info, please check the list of foreign citizens who require Visa for entry into Sweden here.
Information for Presenters
After the conference, presenting authors will be invited to submit a full paper for peer review and inclusion in the book of conference proceedings, published by Routledge. Papers should be presented to a high academic standard, research focused and between 4,000 - 6,000 words.
The InMusic full paper template can be downloaded here: InMusic_FullPaperTemplate.docx
The full paper submission deadline is 01 August 2022.
To submit, please send your completed paper by email to info@innovationinmusic.uk.
Further Information
We are committed to organising InMusic22 as a full 'in-person' event and encourage all presenters to make preparations for travel and attendance at an exciting event that will bring the music research communities back together. Of course, there may be ongoing international circumstances which will make this a challenge for some individuals - so, where necessary, we will do everything we can to support presenters who are restricted by travel issues and those who may be forced to revert to giving an online presentation to the conference delegates.
