The EMC Fellowship Programme offers emerging professionals working in the field of music an opportunity to internationalise their careers and develop professionally. During one year (with the possibility of extension for another year), up to 10 young people are invited to take part in the European Forum on Music, get exclusive access to further EMC events, and be included in the EMC’s internal (membership) communication. The EMC Fellows are open-minded persons, motivated to engage in cultural policy discussions and committed to the values of musical diversity and the ideals of the 5 music rights.
Benefits:
- Attendance at the EMC Lab in Brussels – 10-11 June 2022
The Fellowship starts with a grant that covers all costs (travel, accommodation, and registration fee) related to the attendance at the EMC Lab, the new format to bring together EMC member organisations and their own members alongside former and present fellows. The Lab will take place in Brussels on 10 and 11 June: save the date! - Attendance at the European Forum on Music in 2023
The European Forum on Music is EMC’s flagship in-person conference and you will get a front row seat! EMC will again offer a grant that covers all costs (travel, accommodation, and registration fee). - Access to EMCs membership benefits
Fellows have access to all EMC members-only benefits for one year (with the possibility of extension for a second year). These include the EMC’s internal membership communication as well as exclusive access to EMC events. - Networking and Professional Development
Fellows are given the opportunity to expand their professional network through the EMC and are invited to take part in the EMCs activities (e.g. as experts, speakers, writers); online or on-site. - One-to-one Mentoring Programme
Fellows can participate in the exclusive EMC Mentoring Programme to receive individual support by senior EMC members with extensive experience in the fellow’s field of interest. - Continuous Involvement
There is no abrupt end: former fellows are invited to stay in touch with the EMC network and share their expertise and experience, even after the end of their Fellowship season.
Ideally applicants to the project will have a reference from an EMC member.
