NORDEM, Nordic Early Music, is a dynamic network dedicated to strengthening and promoting early music in and from the Nordic-Baltic region. Founded on 6 September 2006 in Stockholm, Sweden, NORDEM unites professionals across the field, including festivals, organisations, ensembles, publishers, educational and research institutions. Through collaboration and shared initiatives, the network strives to enhance the visibility,
accessibility, and impact of early music.

• engage in dialogue with policymakers and cultural institutions
• represent and promote Nordic and Baltic early music internationally
• support and develop initiatives within early music education and research
• facilitate the collaboration between, and thereby the development of, organisations working for early music in the Nordic and Baltic countries
