Overview
The third call for individual mobility of artists and cultural professionals is now open for submission of applications for mobility grants to 40 Creative Europe countries.
Details
Artists and cultural professionals in the following sectors may apply:
- architecture
- cultural heritage
- design and fashion design
- literature
- music
- visual arts
- performing arts
When to apply
The Culture Moves Europe calls operate on a rolling basis. This means that there are monthly deadlines, with evaluation periods at the end of every month during the application period.
This call is open from 1 August 2024 until 30 November 2024, 23.59 CET (Central European Time).
Selected applicants will have until 30 April 2025 to complete their mobility projects and submit their activity reports by 31 May 2025.
What projects are supported?
Artists and cultural professionals can apply with a proposal to carry out a project with a partner of their choice in a Creative Europe country which is not their country of residence.
The project should pursue two of the following goals:
- to explore: to conduct creative and artistic research, to investigate, inspire and work on a specific theme or a new concept
- to create: to engage in a creative process seeking to produce a new piece of artistic/cultural work
- to learn: to enhance competences and skills through non-formal learning or collaboration with a specialist
- to connect: to develop a professional network, to strengthen the professional development, to engage with new audiences
The partner can be, for example, a fellow artist, an organisation or a venue in the country of destination. Applicants must provide proof of collaboration in the application process.
It is possible to apply either as an individual or as a group of up to five people.
Important: Culture Moves Europe mobility grant cannot be used to merely present previously created work. Projects that simply propose, for example, an exhibition or performance of a previously created work will not be considered. Culture Moves Europe, and these grants, exist to encourage creation, exchanges, connections, and fruitful learnings across borders.
Durations
The project duration is the number of days spent in the destination country to implement the project:
-
between 7 and 40 days for individual projects
-
between 7 and 14 days for group projects
The implementation of the project in the destination country must be uninterrupted, which means that segmenting the implementation of the project into different periods is not accepted.
The selection of projects is divided into three duration categories and estimated as follows:
-
Approximately 70% for short-term projects (7 to 14 days)
-
Approximately 23% for medium-term projects (15 to 21 days)
-
Approximately 7% for long-term projects (22 to 40 days)
Inclusive and sustainable
Accessibility and inclusivity are at the heart of Culture Moves Europe.
There is a series of additional financial top ups to support the inclusion of artists and cultural professionals from various backgrounds. There are top ups for participants having children below the age of 10, those requiring a visa, those travelling to and from overseas countries and territories as well as the outermost regions of the EU.
