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.

The objective of the support to TV and online content is to increase the capacity of audiovisual producers to develop and produce strong projects with significant potential to circulate throughout Europe and beyond, and to facilitate European and international co-productions within the television and online sector.

The Creative Innovation Lab will incentivise players from all cultural and creative sectors to design and test innovative digital solutions with potential positive long-term impact on multiple cultural and creative sectors.

The Lab will facilitate the creation of innovative solutions (e.g. tools, models and methodologies) that can apply to the audiovisual sector and at least another creative and/or cultural sector. Solutions should be easily replicable and have potential for market penetration.

This funding opportunity aims to support cultural organisations whose aim is to offer training, professionalization and performance opportunities for young highly-talented artists. For example, the 2021 call had the specific focus on orchestras. Targeted cultural organisations should adopt a rigorous and inclusive approach in the recruitment and training of young artists who should be nationals/residents from at least 20 countries participating in the Programme, to reflect the genre and European cultural diversity.

European Networks are open to all the cultural and creative sectors.

This funding opportunity will support projects by highly representative multi-country membership-based networks of organisations having a shared mission, governance rules, members' rights and obligations, etc. Networks should be composed of a coordinating organisation and their members.

European Platforms’ projects are open to all within the cultural and creative sectors. This funding opportunity will support projects that aim to increase the visibility and circulation of European emerging artists and works outside their own borders (in Europe and beyond). It supports projects that will increase cultural access, participation in culture, as well as audience engagement and development. Projects are also meant to contribute to EU policy priorities in the culture field.
