In 2012 MICs were recovering slowly from the persisting crisis, looking for creative solutions and cooperating with each other. Through the Minstrel Project, led by the Greek MIC, 11 MICs greatly benefitted from this project to further implement their programmes and to cooperate with other MICs. Merging tendencies among the MICs are a new phenomenon that one has to take into account in the future of IAMIC. Thanks to the financial support of the European Union, IAMIC was able to proceed with and to develop its activities as part of the 3-year work Programme (2011 – 2013). This long-term perspective contributed to the sustainability and the quality of IAMIC’s activities. In order to sustain, promote and act as an advocate for cultural diversity and artistic mobility in Europe and beyond in all forms of music and to foster a strong and sustainable network, IAMIC continued to deepen and to enhance its activities in 2012. With its 38 members from 36 countries, IAMIC is a strong and well-established network that keeps on growing; in 2012 IAMIC welcomed Turkey as a new member. By building bridges between its members, creating networking opportunities through the organisation of conferences and meetings, and supporting and enhancing the visibility of projects that underline these objectives, IAMIC creates an international landscape where pathways to information about music are continually enhanced to provide users with the highest possible level of access. IAMIC improved substantially its Office Exchange Programme in 2011 with beneficial results in 2012. Portugal, Poland, USA, Slovakia, Greece and France participated in the programme. It improved collaboration and helped to build sustainable partnerships. This resulted in the development and promotion of new common projects in the field of music, art and culture at large throughout Europe. The Annual Conference of IAMIC is held every year in cooperation with a local Music Information Centre. In 2012 the Meeting was held in Greece with as a theme “Music Information and Society ”. It coincided with the “European Day of Music in Athens. IAMIC continued further its work on the Music Monitor. The Monitor was initiated to have a better vision of music life in Europe and beyond. It aims at providing annual statistics monitoring musical life, for use in research and planning by governmental authorities, cultural operators and funding bodies. It will contribute to enhance the mobility of artists and art works both on a European level and internationally. Currently IAMIC is looking for partners to enable the creation of a fully-fledged project in the European context. IAMIC also continued to develop its membership by deepening and broadening it. The dynamics of the present membership facilitated the creation and implementation of new projects and enhanced the knowledge and know how in the music field. IAMIC worked intensively with the Research Committee, the Communication and the Innovation, Technology and Software working group. IAMIC did further structured research in non-member countries and was broadly represented 3 in international cultural events, meetings, seminars and festivals. This tightened its relations with other European networks and facilitated potential partnerships. Its participation in meetings in the European Commission, e.g. on data-gathering on mobility of artists and art works, enhanced its commitment and knowledge about the importance of

The question, however, remains as to what extent this report- ed scepticism truly reflects people’s opinions and feelings about Europe. We all consider it normal to cross borders within Europe, often while using the same money, as well as to take part in exchange programmes, invest in enterprises across Europe and appeal to European institutions if national regulations, for example, do not meet our expectations.

  • Claiming a Front Row Seat for Music
    Claiming a front row seat for Music “Music is at the centre of the well-being of our spirit, of our body and mind. It’s not only entertainment, it’s more than that!” Angélique Kidjo in her keynote at the 2021 European Forum on Music After more than 15 months of lockdowns, and hardly any concerts, festivals, collective singing, band or orchestra practice, clubbing and music education in or out of schools, the music sector in Europe and the world is at risk of turning into a stigmatised sector where only very few forms will survive. “In addition to the current health and economic crises, humanity faces nothing less than a potential global “cultural catastrophe”, with severe, long-lasting consequences for cultural rights – and other human rights – if necessary action is not taken immediately by all relevant actors. Karima Benoune, UN Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights We enjoy the recent re-opening of many parts of the music life and we hope that societies can start to recover from this unexpected pandemic. We welcome the “EU’s guidelines for the safe resumption of activities in the cultural and creative sector”1 and we can confirm that the music sector has always put health and safety first and will continue to do so. Nevertheless, infection rates may go up again, and therefore, we turn to you today with the request to take into account the societal relevance of the music sector in your political actions. We are grateful for the diverse and rapid support that the EU and national governments have provided as a reaction to the crisis.2 Now comes the time to think long-term and to fully acknowledge the artistic, social and economic value of the music sector.

  • Activity Report Summary 2019
    FACE – Annual Activity Report 2019 SUMMARY 2019 INTRODUCTION In July 2018, after 5 year of activities, on the occasion of the Assembly General Meeting in Gent (Belgium), members decided to validate the (r)evolution of the organisation and to take the time to review its focuses and fields/types of intervention in order to reposition it in today’s European cultural landscape, assess its activities and develop its sustainability. Members agreed 2019 should be an “année blanche”, a year without the usual activities proposed. Following the fruitful discussions, FACE decided to continue to deliver some activities, especially the ones the network already committed to towards different partners. The international association contributed to several capacity building programmes focusing on the internationalization of professional practices, on initiating formal and informal transnational collaboration. Finally, taking on board the first outcomes of the thorough analysis led during the “année blanche”, FACE joined forces with colleague European organisations to develop an Erasmus+ “strategic partnership” project.
