Performing Arts Health Europe
PAH🇪🇺europe.org
An initiative to build an informal European network of national societies, organisations and institutions working in performing arts health, music medicine, music physiology and musicians’ health.
In formation — not yet a formal organisation
The purpose of PAHeurope is to explore and develop a simple European network for information exchange and cooperation. The initial idea is practical: make national activities more visible across Europe, exchange information about conferences and events, and support cooperation between existing organisations.
This website lists the societies, organisations and institutions contacted or identified so far. It is a starting point for discussion and does not represent a formal organisation or membership structure.
A shared Instagram channel can be used for reposts and collaborative event posts. The shared Google Calendar below brings conferences and events from across Europe together in one place.
