The Institute of Musicology of SAS (Ústav hudobnej vedy SAV) was founded in 1943 among the first research branches of the Slovak Academy of Sciences and Arts (Slovenská akadémia vied a umení, 1942 – 1953). Until 1990 the Institute was part of the Institute of Research on Art, SAS (Umenovedný ústav SAV) as the Musicology Section (Sekcia hudobnej vedy). In 1990 it became independent and renewed under its original name Ústav hudobnej vedy Slovenskej akadémie vied. The Institute of Musicology of the SAS performs basic research of music and music culture in Slovakia in regional, national, Central European and European contexts. Our research conception derives from the integrated model of musicology, based on the pursuing of and collaboration between the three core disciplines: historical musicology, ethnomusicology, and systematic musicology.
