[Allpartners.music360-beta] Visit Gema to Amsterdam

[Gordijn, J. (J)]

Dear all,

Today, the German CMO on author rights, GEMA, visited us, the VU team, plus a representation of BMAT.
As I explained already earlier, there is significant overlap between the study that GEMA undertakes and what we do, specifically on the research of the value of music in retail and gastronomy.
We both think it is a good idea to explore if we can formalize the relationship, for example by means of an associate partnership.

The process for that is the following:
1. please let me know before feb 23rd, if you have any objection
2. if everyone agrees, I will consult the project officer about this.
3. If the project officer is positive, we will start the process of entering the associate partnership, which require a change in both the grant and consortium agreement. We all should agree, and the same holds for GEMA.

Best,
