International Association of Music Information Centres

The International Association of Music Centres (IAMIC) is an international network of organisations that collectively and collaboratively provides information and promotes the music of their countries or regions.

They facilitate relationships among members, creating networking opportunities that increase capabilities that support greater access to and appreciation of music. They aim to become the foremost global network that facilitates the exchange of knowledge and expertise in the field of music, to increase international cooperation and performance.

Each member organisation focuses on the music of its own country or region. Most cover all genres from contemporary and classical music to jazz, rock, popular music, world music and other forms, while some centres focus on a particular musical field. It is IAMIC's task as the umbrella body to raise the public profile of these key cultural operators and increase access to the rich resources they offer. IAMIC acknowledges the importance of sharing and optimising knowledge, expertise and knowhow. In this respect its activities provide an international context for its members, enabling the provision of services and encouraging collaborations, exchanges and partnerships.
