Bridging the gap between the music and audio-visual sectors

Establishing the European Synch Network is the result of an identified need to bring together companies and professionals at the intersection of music and audio-visual sectors (film, TV, VOD, advertising, games, etc.). Deriving from the foundational work of Europe in Synch (EinS) we firmly believe that a formal network could have a positive impact on the medium and long-term development of the European Synch sector. Constraints of the existing (EinS) framework of project partners can be overcome by joining a wider array of members from across Europe who can join forces in expertise and competencies to effectively carry out activities such as advocacy, lobbying, education, development, etc. 

Setting up a Film Music Fund

European Synch Network is vital for achieving the ambitious goals, such as setting up a Film Music Fund, emphasising support for diverse audio-visual projects and promoting the use of licensed European music.
