ERC Midterm Report

In June, MusDig achieved a major milestone: its midterm activity report was officially approved by the ERC scientific committee. For all ERC Advanced Grants, Principal Investigators are required to submit two scientific reports (mid-term and final) during the duration of the grant. These reports inform the ERC on progress and scientific achievements, as well as on publications and specific outputs from the project. Read the full report: MusDig-ERC-MidtermReport-WebsiteVersion.

Individually and as a group, we have engaged over the course of the project in sharing the knowledge developing from our research through regular engagements with the music communities where we are conducting research. As part of establishing ongoing relationships and benefit sharing in ethnographic sites, we have connected with local scholars to gain from their insights while also sharing research outputs through organization of local events, presenting research findings on the MusDig website and inviting select interlocutors to the final MusDig conference.
