The Creative Europe Programme supports transnational cooperation projects involving cultural and creative organizations from various countries participating in the programme. These projects promote collaboration both within the EU and beyond its borders.

​

Through European Cooperation Projects, the programme aims to improve access to European cultural and creative works, while fostering innovation and creativity across the sector.

​

The Support to European Cooperation Projects action is open to cultural and creative organizations of all sizes, including micro and small entities, and encourages them to develop and implement sectoral or cross-sectoral projects together with partners from other countries.

​

European Cooperation Projects are open to all cultural and creative sectors. However, since this action is designed to implement the Culture strand of the programme, projects that only involve audiovisual organizations and that exclusively present audiovisual content are not eligible for funding under this call.
