General Information About the Call
The Individual Mobility Action supports artists and cultural professionals in undertaking projects with a partner in another Creative Europe country. The selected projects should align with two of the following objectives: exploration, creation, learning, or professional networking. Projects that solely present pre-existing work will not be supported.
Supported Projects
Artists and cultural professionals can apply to collaborate on a project with a partner in a Creative Europe country different from their country of residence. The project should focus on at least two of these goals:
- Exploration: Engage in creative and artistic research on a specific theme or concept.
- Creation: Produce a new piece of artistic or cultural work.
- Learning: Enhance skills through non-formal learning or specialist collaboration.
- Connection: Develop professional networks and engage with new audiences.
The partner can be another artist, an organization, or a venue in the destination country. Applicants need to provide proof of collaboration in their application. Applications can be submitted individually or by groups of up to five people.
Important: The grant cannot be used for projects that only showcase previously created work. It is intended to foster new creations, exchanges, and learning across borders.
