In May 2021, during European Diversity Month, IMPALA launched the first Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) survey for the European independent music sector. IMPALA designed the surveys to map best practices, local developments and projects regarding diversity and inclusion, and to start building a basic picture of the sector’s diversity and key issues faced.

IMPALA launched a second survey in 2026, which features a new self-assessment tool. This is a positive exercise, to understand the situation in our sector in different countries and what tools exist or could be useful in the future. Contribute to the survey here.
