Academic institutions fulfil a mission of advancing research and providing higher-level education. Wherever academic work is involved, disputes are to be expected, and these may sometimes develop into conflicts that must be managed in such a way as to prevent them from becoming destructive to academic institutions themselves — universities, research and educational institutes, and academic publishers — as well as to the individuals employed by them.

In mid-November of the current year, Eliseo Fuentes-Martínez, a doctoral candidate at the University of Alicante (supervisors: Prof. Jorge Calvo-Zaragoza and Dr Antonio Ríos-Vila), joined dr Grzegorz Joachimiak, head of the Centre for Digital Musicology at the Institute of Musicology of the University of Wrocław, beginning a research stay devoted to joint work on the development of Optical Music Recognition (OMR) tools for seventeenth- and eighteenth-century handwritten lute tablatures.
