Since 2012, and thanks to the support from the Creative Europe Programme, the ULYSSES Network has been dedicated to the promotion of young talented artists in the field of contemporary music. In reaction to the pandemic and the difficulty to organise physical gatherings, the ULYSSES Network proposed a series of online seminars directed to young artists, focussing on specific topics related to the development of their international career. The positive feedback received from our young artist community has motivated us to continue with the series, even after the end of the pandemic.
For each meeting, an invited speaker shortly presents a specific topic, and opens the floor to give the participants the occasion to discuss this topic together, to address questions and share their personal experiences. At the end of each meeting, an « Open Space » allows some of the participants to present their own projects and to exchange with their fellow artists.
