Music Culture and creativity is an important aspect of the European Identity.


In parallel the music industry employs over 600.000 people across the European Union

and represents a global market of more than 40 billion euro. Music industry is an industry

in mutation with new consumption methods to be anticipated, new economic models

to discover, new activities and new professions to define.

Thus we really need to join forces and undertake specific common activities targeting

the richness of the European music sector, the increased mobility of cultural workers

and the increased circulation of art works at European level, in the perspective

of European integration.

In this frame MINSTREL comes to overcome the following existing problems:


a) A lot of music material while is collected and digitized at national level,

is not easy accessible be the European citizens and professionals.


b) Rich music civilizations and live local music movements of several European countries

are not well known to other countries and


c) while music is an international language, the musicians are active mainly only

in their countries and have not the necessary opportunities to have recognition

or a presence to other counties.
