When to apply

The Culture Moves Europe calls operate 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 second round is open from 2 October 2023 until 31 May 2024, 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 offer a special financial support to people living with disabilities and those having children below the age of 10. 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 through extra financial top-ups.
