Conference of Swiss Universities of Music brings together the seven currently recognized Swiss music academies: Basel, Bern, Geneva, Lausanne, Lucerne, Lugano and Zurich.
CHEMS supports and coordinates vocational training at national level; it is committed to the widespread recognition of university degrees and defines quality standards.
CHEMS maintains contacts with professional organizations in the music world, takes a stance on cultural and educational policy issues, and promotes the many facets of music and music education.
