16th April, 2024 — With the launch of a comprehensive survey, the Fair MusE project, funded by the European Union, is taking a significant step towards enhancing fairness within the music industry. With an esteemed Advisory Board, including renowned academics, independent experts, and artists, Fair MusE invites composers, performers, record labels, music professionals, and high-level students to participate in shaping the future of fairness within the European music ecosystem.

The Fair MusE survey aims to explore how various stakeholders, including composers, songwriters, performers, and music industry experts, perceive and address ‘fairness’ within the European music ecosystem. In an era of increasing policy interest surrounding fairness in a platform-based economy, the project seeks to define what ‘fair’ truly means and identify aspects that may be considered unfair by industry professionals and stakeholders.

How can you contribute? For participation, please contact [email protected] to share with you the survey invitation.

Filling out the survey will take approximately 10-12 minutes. The survey is available in English, French, German, Italian, Greek, and Spanish. Your input will be crucial in shaping the Fair Muse comprehensive report on understandings and perspectives towards ‘fairness’.
