The main aim and objective of the Action is to EarlyMuse intends to chart new paths that will strengthen the unique place of early music in Europe. It will therefore be a matter of confronting the challenges that arise from different vantage points: (1) scientific, (2) educational, (3) structural and professional, (4) economic and societal. During its first two years the Action progressed the achievement of this as described below EarlyMuse fostered the development of a geographically inclusive community focused on historical musicology. It addressed topics related to scientific practices (WG Publications), the status of the discipline in higher education and research (WG Education), the modes of deploying shared tools (WG Sources), and the relationships with the field of research-creation (WG Performance). Finally, it aimed to raise awareness within its community about European issues and to consider ways to engage with public policymakers (WG Policies). Now bringing together 263 members from 39 countries, EarlyMuse has organized its activities around meetings and short scientific missions that have strengthened connections among researchers from diverse backgrounds. These activities have resulted in publications, most of which are freely accessible on EarlyMuse's own website. They have also invited researchers to combine their efforts to engage with other EU initiatives (Creative Europe, European Cloud for Cultural Heritage, Marie Curie Network). The next two years, 2025 and 2026, will transform the reflections and investigations of 2023 and 2024 into concrete outputs: articles, notes, policy briefs, and reports. There is no real danger, but there is an obligation to remain vigilant in order to listen to as many voices as possible, thereby strengthening collective initiatives to move beyond the fundamentally individualistic conception of the discipline.
