Tips to reduce the EFM environmental impact

In the context of your participation in the EMC Lab & EFM 2025 in Brussels, Belgium (or any other event in the future), please keep in mind the following eco-friendly behaviours to contribute reducing our collective environmental impact.

  • Bring your own lanyard to wear the conference badge
  • Bring your own reusable water bottle
  • Consider not having your hotel room cleaned every day and keeping your towels several days
  • Prefer public transports over cars and taxis when possible
  • Thoroughly fill in the registration from including the questions on meals to help us planning well in advance and wasting as little food as possible

  • Travel by land if possible - if you travel by plane, please book direct flights instead of connecting ones and try to avoid low-cost airlines

You can find out more about the EMC commitment to minimise its ecological footprint, implementing sustainable practices, and behaving as an example of good environmental practice for our members and other cultural networks in the EMC Environmental Policy.

A safe and inclusive EFM

The European Forum on Music aims to be a safe, inclusive and accessible space for everyone in attendance, including participants, speakers, musicians and team. Everyone has a right to feel welcome, respected and able to participate, and every participant is requested to comply with EMC Anti-Harassment Policy & Code of Conduct.

In case you feel unsafe, uncomfortable or in need of support during the EMC Lab and EFM because the Anti-Harassment Policy & Code of Conduct has not been respected, you may wish to talk to the EMC team, or to email us at help@emc-imc.org.
