The new Creative Europe programme launches, including calls for Cooperation Projects, Networks and Platforms
The priorities of the new programme include: audiences, environment, social inclusion, internationalisation, and new technology, with sector specific calls in architecture, music, publishing and cultural heritage, as well as the useful calls which range across artforms, and creative, cultural and heritage sectors more widely. Calls are now open with deadlines in September 2021.
Scotland and the UK is not taking part in this new Creative Europe programme. However, within Cooperation Projects it is possible to be involved in the partnership which submits the application. Before closing, Creative Europe Desk UK put together some guidance on how to be involved as a third party (please note that this guidance was created from how it operated in the previous programme).

Host or be hosted, with the new I-Portunus House Call, deadline 30 June
Interested in hosting 2 to 5 artists or cultural professionals (any artform) from elsewhere in Europe to work together on collaborative projects? I-Portunus has launched its first ‘House’ call and the UK is still eligible (as it’s from funding from the previous Creative Europe programme). You can apply for ‘physical’ visits only, or a mix of physical and virtual visits, to create, connect, learn or explore. Visit this summary of the Opportunities page, and click through to the full call documents.
