For around two decades, digital technologies for scholarly music editions have been researched, developed and applied at the Detmold/Paderborn Musicological Seminar. With the Center for Music - Edition - Media (ZenMEM) and the Virtueller Forschungsverbund Edirom (ViFE), Detmold has become a central location for the international coding standard of the Music Encoding Initiative (MEI) as well as for the "Edirom" software used by academics and music publishers. Detmold is also a leading educational centre in this field of Digital Humanities: the courses offered on an ongoing basis from the research projects are aimed at BA and MA students from all disciplines. In addition, there is a Master's specialisation in Digital Edition and the annual Edirom Summer School with an international reach.
