Deadline: 07-Nov-2025
The House of Europe is requesting applications for its International Mobility Grants Program to support professionals in culture and creative industries, education and youth work and media.
The programme focuses on mobility opportunities that support travel to the EU and the UK, encourage individual travel for knowledge sharing and professional growth, and enable participants to design their own itineraries to maximize the usefulness of their experience.
The mobility purposes include presenting and discussing work, conducting research, doing internships, attending professional events such as conferences, networking, and festivals, meeting with partners to plan projects, or engaging in other activities that contribute to professional development.
Funding of up to 4,000 EUR is available. The grant covers travel, accommodation, food, public transport, registration fees, tickets, accreditations, visas, and medical insurance. Travel expenses depend on the distance to the destination, ranging from 180 EUR for trips up to 499 km to 530 EUR for distances over 2500 km.
Accommodation costs depend on the duration of the stay, with 120 EUR per day for trips lasting 5–14 days and 70 EUR per day for trips lasting 15–28 days. Expenses not indicated in the application, unrelated to the mobility, already covered by other programmes, incurred before signing the grant agreement, or related to taxes will not be covered.
Applicants must be adult citizens of Ukraine currently residing in Ukraine, excluding temporarily occupied territories, and possess a biometric passport or be able to obtain a visa.
Eligible professionals include managers, curators, cultural operators, experts, researchers, and entrepreneurs working across music, theatre, dance, film, design, fashion, visual arts, photography, audiovisual arts, crafts, literature, museums, galleries, libraries, publishing, festivals, cultural heritage, archives, restoration, and conservation.
Artists, creative professionals, architects, landscape architects, and urban planners are also eligible. In the education and youth sectors, teaching staff and heads of educational institutions, managers and employees of youth centres, and youth workers from various organisations can apply.
In the media sector, the grant supports managers, journalists, editors, culture and economic journalists, investigative reporters, fact-checkers, and media association managers.
Applicants must attach a budget drafted using the provided template, a scan of the passport and registration pages, a CV of up to two pages in Ukrainian or English, and a confirmation letter from an EU partner with details about the visit, including purpose, dates, and participant information.
Only one application per individual is allowed, and if several employees from the same organisation apply, only one will be supported based on evaluation results. Individuals who received a House of Europe mobility grant between 2023 and 2025 are ineligible.
Applications will undergo a two-stage assessment process, beginning with a technical review to ensure completeness and followed by an expert evaluation based on selection criteria.
The open call deadline is Friday, 7 November 2025, at 15:00 Kyiv time, and the results will be announced after 15 December 2025.
