EJN Artistic Exchange Platform (AEP) 2026: Trondheim
From 5 May to 8 May 2026, the Europe Jazz Network (EJN) will gather in Trondheim, Norway, for the latest edition of the Artistic Exchange Platform (AEP). Co-organized with Trondheim JazzFest, this invitation-only meeting provides a confidential environment for programmers and curators to exchange booking ideas, develop joint commissions, and foster international residencies.
A key highlight of this year’s platform is a dedicated session on 6 May led by Katrien De Moor (NTNU). This session will explore the human-centric aspects of Artificial Intelligence and the ongoing work of the AMPLIFY project. By bringing together EJN members with experts and musicians from the NTNU and the Norwegian Jazz Association, the discussion aims to bridge the gap between technological innovation and artistic integrity. Participants will also have the opportunity to experience the vibrant local scene through a series of showcases and evening concerts hosted by Trondheim JazzFest.
