Mission & Interests

Goals: The European Music Council (EMC), a regional group of the International Music Council (IMC), is the umbrella organisation for musical life in Europe. It is a platform for National Music Councils and organisations involved in various fields of music from many European countries. The EMC acknowledges the significant role that music and culture play in the political and societal development of a peaceful and integrative Europe. It advocates on local, national and European levels for an appropriate framework, respecting equal rights and opportunities for music professionals and access to music. It contributes to a better mutual understanding amongst people and promotes the right for their musical cultures to coexist. It provides exceptional value to its members through the analysis of policy developments and formulation of policy statements; capacity building and knowledge exchange, creating networking opportunities within and beyond the music sector on an international platform.

Activities

Main EU Legislative Proposals: The EMC closely follows the EU cultural policy - especially the European Agenda for Culture, the Council Work Plan for Culture, the Creative Europe programme, the Music Moves Europe initiative, the Copyright Directive, the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), reports on the Status and Working Conditions of Artists and Cultural and Creative Professionals, the New European Bauhaus, and the Framework Action on Cultural Heritage. The EMC actively participates in the Structured Dialogue "Voices of Culture". The main policy initiative is the European Agenda for Music (EAM), launched in 2018. The European Agenda for Music was developed out of a continent-wide consultation launched by the European Music Council (EMC). Reaching out to the entire music sector, it identifies the sector’s collective needs and sets out priorities for the future. A powerful confirmation of the European music sector’s desire to join together in the promotion of a common cause, the Agenda details which directions to pursue in order to ensure a music sector that remains strong, fair, innovative and diverse in a rapidly changing world. The European Commission has expressed a desire for there to be more cooperation between the various cultural disciplines, however it is important that the specifics and needs of each individual sector be highlighted, which can be done with the Agenda. Should the European Union or national governments want to make decisions concerning music in the future, the Agenda will provide them with a thorough document (and a united sector) to which they can refer.
Communication Activities: The European Music Council receives network funding through the Creative Europe programme of the European Union. It's main policy initiative is the European Agenda for Music, launched in 2018. The aim in developing a European Agenda for Music (EAM) is to bring together the diverse voices of the European music sector to determine a common vision and strategy for the future. The European Music Council has worked intensely to consult and hear from as many voices as possible, across Europe and across the music sector - and continues to do so. In the European music sector, we have many different viewpoints and interests, but we share one common goal: a thriving music sector that continues to play an essential role in the European landscape. The European Agenda on Music will bring together the music sector, allowing it to join voices. It will be a platform for collaboration and exchange. Initiated by the European Music Council, coordination will remain with the EMC, however the Agenda itself is a document owned by everyone involved. The European Agenda for Music was developed out of a continent-wide consultation launched by the European Music Council (EMC). Reaching out to the entire music sector, it identifies the sector’s collective needs and sets out priorities for the future. A powerful confirmation of the European music sector’s desire to join together in the promotion of a common cause, the Agenda details which directions to pursue in order to ensure a music sector that remains strong, fair, innovative and diverse in a rapidly changing world. Every year, the European Music Council organises the European Forum on Music bringing together stakeholders from the music sector in Europe and beyond to exchange, network and discuss the latest developments in cultural and music policy and for the music sector in general. The EMC is a cooperation partner in MusicAIRE, an innovative funding scheme for a sustainble music ecosystem (Music Moves Europe Preparatory Action) in which the EMC jointly with the coordinator Inova+ (PT) re-distributes EU grants for the COVID-19 recovery of the music sector. The EMC is also a cooperation partner in other projects such as "MOST - Bridge for Balkan Music" (funded by Creative Europe) as well as the upcoming projects "Art in Education (ArlA) - Art Music, Activism and Positive Change" (funded by Creative Europe) and Music4Change (funded by Erasmus+). In the last years, the EMC was active in other projects, for example as project coordinator for the Erasmus+ funded project "SHIFT Culture - Shared Initiatives for Training" providing training offers for cultural leaders, working together and creating paths to face global challenges such as climate change, gender equality and inclusion of minorities based on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and as partner organisation in "Creative "Shift" (Pilot Action of DG CNCT). As an outcome of SHIFT, the EMC together with other European cultural networks has co-developed an eco-certificate for European cultural networks in line with the objectives of the EU Green Deal. The EMC received its first SHIFT eco-certificate for cultural networks in February 2024. In February 2024, the EMC organised an event in the European Parliament in cooperation with the Cultural Creators Friendship Group (CCFG) and the New European Bauhaus Friendship Group on the topic "Music@NEB. Sounding Out Opportunities for Music in the New European Bauhaus".
