In this wrap-up episode of the Europe In Synch Podcast, we sit down with a few of the founders and key drivers involved – Nuno Saraiva, Hannes Tschürtz and Ava Demelemester-Toelpt – to reflect on four transformative years of building a truly connected European sync community.

We look back at how a bold idea evolved into a structured ecosystem built on the core pillars of: the Academy; the Missions; the Observatory; the Platform itself; and the Act In Synch summits.

At the heart of the project, the Academy created space for deep dives with client-targeted catalysts – music supervisors, producers and decision-makers – turning real briefs into shared learning. Beyond inspiration, it focused on long-term impact: strengthening capacity in smaller markets and advocating for music rights education within film school curricula.

Through its Missions, Europe In Synch stepped directly into international arenas, forging relationships and gathering insight and connections at key industry events in the various fields. These experiences sharpened European companies understanding of the fast-moving games sector and opened new pathways into film, TV and advertising.

The Observatory added depth to the detail and data, delivering market snapshots and clarifying the legal nuances that shape sync across different territories.

Meanwhile, the Platform became a living online resource hub, offering the compiled reports, an interactive info map, written interviews and articles, and a growing podcast archive that extended the project’s reach far beyond just physical events.

The conversation recalls previous summits and looks ahead to Act In Synch 4, hosted at the Côa Museum in Portugal in March 2026, where the theme of “rewilding music culture” connects creativity with sustainability, nature, and conservationism.

As the European project enters its next evolution, this episode reflects on the legacy of the original vision: stronger networks, greater knowledge sharing, tangible export opportunities, and a more confident European voice in the global sync landscape.

Act In Synch IV – The Côa Edition (27-28 March, 2026)

Europe In Synch is created, managed, promoted, and driven by several European organizations and companies and is a truly cross-border collaboration.
The goals are to bring together professionals from the music sector with decision-makers from film & advertising to provide a real-life, hands-on, learning experience, and to promote European music in the complex field of synchronization, through communication, knowledge-building and networking via focused mentoring and peer training sessions.
