Better Live:
2020 – 2026
Better Live is a four-year cooperation project working towards a more sustainable, fair and inclusive live music sector.
Running from 2022 to 2026, Better Live brings together partners from across Europe’s jazz and improvised music community to explore how the sector can reduce its environmental impact while continuing to support artistic mobility, international collaboration and live performance.
The project focuses particularly on the ecological transition of the live music sector, recognising that the mobility of artists and audiences is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions in the cultural field. Through research, training, advocacy, local action groups, sustainable concerts and low-carbon touring models, Better Live aims to develop practical ways for music professionals and organisations to take action.
EMX:
2020 – 2022
EMX was implemented by a consortium of European music export offices and cultural institutions to develop and test new strategies for promoting European music internationally. Working alongside networks representing European music professionals, artists, musicians, authors and composers, the project aimed to generate new knowledge and practical approaches to European music export through research, sector collaboration and innovative pilot actions. These included trade missions, international delegation tours, capacity-building programmes and studies designed to strengthen the global visibility, circulation and competitiveness of European music.
