In the first part of the meeting the report was presented on the survey of the music libraries of EOFed member federations. International exchange and lending of sheet music between EOFed members was discussed.
The second part of the conference focused on EOFed and its member activities. Participants were provided with information about the 12th European Orchestra Festival in 2022 in Plovdiv (Bulgaria) and other projects of EOFed. Members presented their plans and events.

The EOFed plans to continue online meetings with its members in the future.
