Music4Change was a European collaboration that explored how music research and education could more effectively engage with questions of sustainability within the cultural and creative sectors. Working across universities, NGOs, and music stakeholders, the project focused on how education and research might better support emerging forms of social, cultural, and environmental responsibility in our fields.

A central aim was to strengthen research education by deepening interdisciplinary practice, enhancing digital competence, and improving cooperation between higher education and the wider music sector. The project placed strong emphasis on exchange, across disciplines, institutions, and national contexts, recognising that sustainable development in music depends on sharing perspectives and collaboration.
