This funding opportunity supports small, medium and large-scale cooperation projects, across different sectors. For example, for the architecture sector in 2021 calls, this action set out to support European architects with a range of activities. These included communication, co-creation and the involvement of citizens and stakeholders in design, planning and building processes, the integration of European Green Deal (in particular the incorporation of New European Bauhaus principles in their practices) and the internationalisation of careers across and outside of Europe.

This funding opportunity supports projects within the cultural and creative sectors. A broad range of activities and initiatives, and a wide range of applicants can be supported. Support is for projects involving transnational cultural cooperation, and which contribute to strengthening the creation and circulation of European artworks and artists transnationally. There is also a focus on funding projects which support the European cultural and creative sectors to nurture talent to innovate, to prosper and to generate jobs and growth.

This pilot project will create a space that aims to provide policy makers and stakeholders with information on the metaverse as well as fostering the discussion community of policy makers, academia and stakeholders, thereby realising a sound, sustainable and free from bias development of the metaverse in the EU.

In a context in which the European media sector is struggling to offer accessible, plural and innovative content to European audiences, this call proposes to support European media hubs producing and disseminating pluralistic news and factual content across Europe.
Applicants targeted include news media organisations and other organisations active in the media sector managing or willing to set-up media hubs (e.g. physical or virtual newsrooms).

The goal of the pilot project is to promote the preservation of a pluralistic media environment of the countries affected by war in Ukraine, also whilst journalists and media are working from an exile. The broader aim is to make Europe a safer place by helping the people of these countries in their democratic aspirations, where independent media play an indispensable role.

The ambition of the preparatory action is to start a process at an international level where art-driven innovation is promoted as an alternative joint pathway to the future for economies across different continents and cultures.
