Culture Moves Europe : the call is open !

Culture Moves Europe is back with a new call for individual mobility

Culture Moves Europe is funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union and is implemented by the Goethe-Institut.

With a budget of €25 million, Culture Moves Europe supports around 7 000 artists, cultural professionals and host organisations between 2025 and 2028.

Who can apply?

The call for applications is open for artists and cultural professionals from Creative Europe participating countries, who are active in one of the eligible cultural sectors: architecture, cultural heritage, design and fashion design, literature, music, performing arts and visual arts. 

What does the program offer?

The grant is made up of three flat rate key components: 

• travel allowance
• daily allowance
• any applicable top-ups or accessibility support (or both)

Based on the feedback from past editions, all amounts have been increased to better cater for the needs of the applicants. 

When to apply?

The Culture Moves Europe calls operate on a rolling basis. This means that there are monthly deadlines, with evaluation periods at the end of every month during the application period:

This call is open from 1 October 2025 until 30 April 2026, 23.59 CET (Central European Time).

Applicants whose project has been selected will have 6 months starting from the date of signature of their grant agreement to complete their project.
