Dear friends and colleagues
The AEC is pleased to present our new project funded by the European Commission's Creative Europe programme, Empowering Artists as Makers in Society, for which we are launching today the first call for working group members. We encourage all our member institutions to propose candidates for the various working groups, both among staff members and among students.
In this newsletter you will also find information about our advocacy work, the Pop and Jazz Platform recently held in Łódź, the upcoming EPARM meeting in London as well as updates on other important activities within higher music education.
