The NESCoM is a multidisciplinary research center formed by musicians, engineers and computer scientists. The main research interest lies with sonology, audiotacticle musical analysis, ubiquitous music, interactive multimedia installations, and the design of computer music technology in general. Overall, the common ground for the NESCoM projects lies with the human-aspects, both cognitive and motor, behind a musical activity. This can come, for instance, in the shape of an audiotactile analysis of musical interaction applied to a new digital musical interface designed to overcome human physical constraints or the composition of a cinema soundtrack based on perceptual models of the audience. In this paper, it is reported a short description of the ongoing projects of the NESCoM and the future works. 1. Introduction In 2010, the Computer Music Committee (CECM) of the Brazilian Computing Society (SBC) approved Vitória-ES as the host city of the XIII Brazilian Symposium on Computer Music (SBCM). At that time, there was little organized research initiatives in the field happening at the local universities. Moved by the necessity to organize such event, an interinstitutional local committee was formed. The relationship between the host institutions grew stronger during the process of organizing such event, up to a point that some of researchers decided to collaborate more extensively soon after the event-the NESCoM was born. However, it was not until 2013 that it was officially registered as a formal research group of Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES) at CNPq. The group is formed by musicians, electrical engineers, and computer scientists. The members are mainly spread between the Music Department (Campus Goiabeiras/Vitória-ES) and the Computing and Electronics Department (Campus São Mateus-ES). Despite the challenges of the remote collaboration, being geographically apart gives us the opportunity to stretch out to a vaster audience and to serve students (undergrads and postgrads) from different degrees, such as: music, computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering. The main research lines are: soundtrack composition and sound-design for cinema and digital games, audiotactile musical analysis and applications, interactive multimedia installations, ubiquitous music, and new interfaces for musical expression, as detailed and exemplified by the ongoing projects.

This paper presents the program in electronic music composition and musical production at the School of the Arts of the Polytechnic Institute of Castelo Branco (http://www.esart.ipcb.pt). This study program offers a 1 st cycle degree and is functioning since the academic year of 2005/2006. At the conference, we will present the curriculum of the program, some recent work by the students, and the next phase in the program development, which includes making contacts with people and institutions to further develop the program through ERASMUS exchanges of faculty and students, hiring of new faculty members, and eventual creation of an European partnership for a 2 nd cycle degree Keywords: New academic programs in electronic music, electronic music, musical production, multimedia.
