CREATIVE EUROPE NATIONAL DESKS
Creative Europe has a national desk established in 38 countries in order to promote European initiatives and facilitate participation in the Creative Europe programme.
Each desk has the mission to provide the following services:
- Free information and guidance on how to access funding opportunities under the Creative Europe Programme
- Regular updates on audiovisual and culture related issues at European level.
- Networking support facilitating contact between cultural operators in different countries and partner finding opportunities.
The Creative Europe Desks are autonomous in organizing these services on a national level. If you are interest in European cooperation and in seeking funding from the European Commission, we highly advise you to contact the desk in your country and to signal your interest. They can help you in approaching project partners, orientate you to a funding programme adapted to your needs, and advise you during the application process.
