Culture Moves Europe is a new permanent mobility scheme for artists, creators and cultural professionals, with a budget of 21 € million between 2022 and 2025. The aim of this mobility grant is to help (emerging) artists and cultural professionals to develop international collaborations and co-productions, thus contributing to both their professional development and the internationalisation of their careers.
The grant will help cover travel and accommodation costs, as well as daily expenses. Additionally, the funding can be adapted in view of specific needs (top-ups granted for programme beneficiaries living with disabilities, travelling with young children, or requiring a Visa). Sustainability lies at the core of the programme, which is why a Green top-up is awarded to projects relying on sustainable travel.
Projects should pursue one of the following objectives:
The individual mobility action offers financial support to individuals who travel between 7 and 60 days or groups of up to 5 persons who travel between 7 and 21 days.
Rolling calls every year between autumn and spring, with cut-off dates on the last day of every month.
The residency action is aimed at legal entities that regularly organise residencies and are interested in hosting groups of artists and cultural professionals of up to 5 people.
Beyond the regular calls for funding, Creative Europe includes additional opportunities, as well as prizes and labels:
Music Moves Europe Talent Awards, EU prize for popular and contemporary music
European Heritage Awards/Europa Nostra Awards for best practices related to heritage conservation, management, research, education and communication
European Union Prize for Literature
Mies van der Rohe Awards, EU Prize for Contemporary Architecture
European Heritage Label, attributed to cultural sites with a symbolic European value
The pan-European cultural entities call is supporting orchestras whose aim is to offer training, professionalisation and performance opportunities for young, highly talented artists.
