Founded in 1874, the RMA is the foremost society in the UK dedicated to the study of music. Its principal objectives are the advancement of scholarship and scholarly publication.

The Research Students' Conference is open to postgraduates studying in the UK or abroad. It offers the opportunity for students to present research in music, musicology and related areas in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.

Each year, the programme includes skills training sessions, student papers, composition and performance workshops, concerts, and social events. The conference provides an opportunity for young researchers to meet together, to gain experience of the conference environment (as listeners, participants, and chairs), to hear papers, workshops, and music, and to gain insights into the profession.
