2025 European Cooperation Projects (CREA-CULT-2025-COOP)

The action is anchored in the policy framework of the Culture strand of the Creative Europe Programme and the EU Overarching Priorities (EU greening efforts, inclusion and gender equality, digital transition and international relations).

European Cooperation Projects are open to all the cultural and creative sectors. However, considering that this action aims to pursue the objectives of the Culture strand of the Programme, projects involving exclusively organisations from the audio-visual sector and projects of an exclusive audiovisual content are out of scope for this call and therefore are not eligible for funding under it.

Proposals are expected to present a clear cross-border cooperation dimension as this is at the core of the European Cooperation Projects.

The call covers three (3) topics/categories, depending on the scale of the project(s):

• Small scale projects
  • The consortium most be composed of minimum 3 entities from 3 different eligible countries
  • The maximum EU grant amount is of EUR 200 000 per project
  • The funding rate is of maximum 80%
