Funded by the Australian Research Council, APRA AMCOS and the Australia  Council for the Arts, the research project is an exciting collaboration  between the music industry and academics from the University of  Newcastle and Monash University.  <!--more-->  The research will be completed over three years and arrives at a time  when Australian artists like Sia, Tame Impala, Courtney Barnett, Flume,  Vance Joy, Troye Sivan and 5 Seconds of Summer are dominating the world  stage.<\/p>\n<p> Field work and interviews for The Economic and Cultural Value of  Australian Music Exports project commenced in May this year at music  events The Great Escape (UK), Classical:NEXT (the Netherlands), MIDEM  (France) and A2IM Indie Week (USA).<\/p>\n<p> The project intends to measure the economic contribution Australian  music export makes to GDP; the impact and return on investment of Sounds  Australia; and less tangible elements of music export such as cultural  experience, practice and identity and their integration with public  policy.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;This is a great opportunity to study the workings of a global industry  which has been neglected by most international business and management  researchers,&#8221; says one of the chief investigators, Professor Stephen  Chen of the University of Newcastle.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;It promises to bring a fresh perspective on exporting in the creative  industries, and should be useful for artists, companies in the industry  as well as policy makers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> APRA AMCOS Head of Member Services, Dean Ormston, expects the data to  highlight Australia&#8217;s music export potential: &#8220;With the right  investment, Australia could set its sights on becoming a net music  exporter. This research will seek to provide evidence of the  far-reaching economic and cultural benefits generated by Australian  music export.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Australia Council for the Arts, Arts Practice Director, Music, Paul  Mason, says the research will demonstrate the impact of cultural funding  on music export:<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;The project will deliver empirical results that can be used by  government and industry to plan and support the Australian music sector  well into the future.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normal\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normal\">Source: <\/span><span class=\"normal\">APRA<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The economic and cultural value of Australian music export will be determined in a new&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6276","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6276","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6276"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6276\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6276"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6276"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6276"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
