MusicAIRE (An Innovative Recovery for Europe) is an EU-funded project (Music Moves Europe) that aims to provide tailored instruments for the sector and contribute to a green, digital, just and resilient recovery of the music ecosystem. This call for proposals takes into consideration the feedback and input received by music sector representatives through a questionnaire and two think-tank sessions. The ultimate goal of this initiative is to design and test a supporting scheme that will assist with the recovery of the sector while preparing future EU support under the new Creative Europe Programme. MusicAIRE is managed by the consortium composed by INOVA+ and the European Music Council (EMC)
