Culture and Creativity

This preparatory action aims to set up and/or develop European media platforms that improve citizens’ access to trusted information from across the EU. Initiatives funded under this call will include editorial and technical media projects involving broadcasters, publishers, media developers and other organisations from across the EU active in the media sector, to enhance and expand their content offer through innovative formats and increase their reach.

This call aims at funding a project to enhance the production, curation and dissemination of professional and multilingual news media content (as well as informative, non-fictional programming) around EU affairs, in at least five Union languages, across one or several European delivery platform models.

The objective of the Innovative tools and business models action is to strengthen the competitiveness, scalability and sustainability of the European players, as well as to improve the visibility and availability of European works and increase audiences in the digital environment.

The aim is to support projects focusing on the specific challenges of the audiovisual sector such as discoverability, sequencing of release windows, financing and territoriality in order to enable strong and visible offers of European works online and across borders to a wide public.
