CFAs: European Cooperation Projects Small Scale Program 2025

Deadline: 13-May-2025

The European Commission is pleased to announce its European Cooperation Projects Small Scale Program.

Objectives

• The action European Cooperation Projects supports projects involving organisations in the cultural and creative sectors of all sizes, including micro-organisations and small-sized organisations, and from different countries to undertake sectoral or cross-sectoral activities.
• Objective 1 – Transnational creation and circulation: to strengthen the transnational creation and circulation of European works and artists.
  • Transnational creation and circulation are important for the advancement of collaborations, increased outreach and in many cases necessary for the viability and development of cultural organisations, institutions and individuals. Co-production is also a tool to stimulate creativity, share resources and facilitate the trans-national distribution of content and the circulation of artists. Projects will consider the new context such as health or environmental concerns and integrate innovative (digital) ways of producing and disseminating content.
• Objective 2 – Innovation: to enhance the capacity of European cultural and creative sectors to nurture talents, to innovate, to prosper and to generate jobs and growth.
  • Projects responding to this objective should be of capacity-building nature, which can be of technological and/or artistic nature and may include the development and experimentation of new practices or models, as well as the transfer and dissemination of innovative practices.
