AEC – Empowering Artists as Makers in Society (2022-2025) – Creative Europe Network

Higher Music Education (HME) graduates are the makers of tomorrow's musical life. Facing new challenges, such as dealing with the digital shift, climate change, the growing diversity of cultural and societal needs and a labour market under constant dynamic change, they will be tasked with promoting the resilience of artists, musicians and other cultural professionals.

Updates

EASY is an IT system developed and coordinated by the AEC since 2016 to facilitate the digitisation of the mobility procedures for international offices of Conservatoires and other art universities. After 7 years with the Estonian Company Dreamapply, the AEC selected the Austrian company SoP Mobility Online to build a new system for the digital management of mobilities in Conservatoires, which fully supports the compulsory requirements and connection with Erasmus Without Papers and allows developments towards staff mobility and student mobility for traineeships. In 2023, 109 EASY internal institutions piloted the new system intending to go live for real applications in January 2024. The system is now live with 92 internal institutions exchange applications for student mobility for studies among themselves and also with 800 external partners.
