MusicAIRE - An Innovative Recovery for Europe

Learn more on the MusicAIRE website!

MusicAIRE was implemented by Inova+ and the European Music Council (EMC). The consortium developed two calls for proposals which supported the music ecosystem to emerge from the COVID-19 crisis in a green, digital and just and resilient way.

Overall, 51 projects were funded out of more than 700 applications. An overview of the funded projects is available on the MusicAIRE website. Funded projects received grants of 15.000 EUR, 30.000 EUR or 55.000 EUR. Overall, 2.2 million EUR were distributed to projects all over Europe.

In the process to develop the calls, the music sector was consulted through thinks-tanks put together through an open call for representatives of the music sector, an open questionnaire and interviews. This was especially important in light of one of the main tasks of the project, which is to test and to prepare new EU support schemes for the Creative Europe programme. Additionally, policy recommendations on future EU support for the music sector were developed in consultation with the think-tanks and funded projects. A final event to celebrate the funded projects and discuss policy recommendations took place on 29 November 2023 in Brussels.
