FIA Publications
When time and resources allow for it, FIA undertakes researches and studies on topics related to its professional field of activity, taking advantage of its global network and the first-hand experience that its members can share. As it is the case for projects, these activities are sometimes undertaken jointly with sister federations like the International Federation of Musicians (FIM) or Union Network International – Media, Entertainment and Arts (UNI-MEI).
Below is a list of prominent FIA publications and studies that have been carried out to this date.
