Deadline: 20-Apr-22
The European Commission (EC) is pleased to announce a call for proposals entitled “Europe’s cultural heritage and arts – promoting our values at home and abroad”.
European arts and cultural heritage have an intrinsic value in enriching the lives, but also reflect the way of life, and contribute to shaping the society and its values. They are important elements of the creativity and innovation, on which they build economic growth and social development. They also have a role in shaping the way Europe is perceived from afar, thus being important assets for their “soft power” and for promoting Europe’s place in the world. If Europe wants to maintain its place in a globalised world, it is in the interest to step up common efforts to promote Europe’s culture, values and interests.
Funding Information
The check will normally be done for the coordinator if the requested grant amount is equal to or greater than EUR 500 000, except for:
- public bodies (entities established as a public body under national law, including local, regional or national authorities) or international organisations; and
- cases where the individual requested grant amount is not more than EUR 60 000 (lowvalue grant).
Expected Outcomes
Projects should contribute to at least one of the following expected outcomes:
- Better awareness and understanding of European arts, culture and values within the EU and internationally by leveraging the creativity of arts and cultural heritage partners in Europe.
- Wider exposure to the diversity of European art, culture and values for European and international partners, by strengthening links with creative industries and other parts of the economy.
- Reinforced common European action to promote Europe’s culture and economic interests internationally, hence contributing to strengthen European competitiveness.
