When to apply

The Culture Moves Europe operates on a rolling basis. This means that the call period is relatively long, with evaluation periods at the end of every month during the application period.

This first round is open from 10 October 2022 until 31 May 2023, 23.59 CET (Central European Time).

Applicants whose project have been selected will have one year starting from the date of signature of their grant agreement to complete their project.

Inclusive and sustainable

Accessibility and inclusivity are at the heart of Culture Moves Europe.

Culture Moves Europe will grant special support to people living with disabilities and those taking care of children. It will also provide special support to those travelling to and from overseas countries and territories as well as the outermost regions of the EU. The mobility scheme has a particular focus on emerging artists and will aim at maintaining gender and geographical balance among its grantees.

Culture Moves Europe is equally committed to operate in a sustainable and environmentally responsible way. The mobility action does not support air travel below a distance of 600km and encourages grantees to use more sustainable means of transport where possible through extra financial top-ups.

The new action forms part of the 2021-2027 Creative Europe programme.
