Commission call for Cultural Programme proposals

The Culture Programme is the European Commission's main funding programme for cultural activities. The programme has three specific objectives:

• Promotion of the trans-national mobility of people working in the cultural sector
• Support for the trans-national circulation of cultural and artistic works and products
• Promtion of inter-cultural dialogue

The programme operates a number of strands under which it supports a range of transnational activities in all fields of arts and culture. Within this call there are two deadlines for submission of proposals which may appeal to colleagues:

1st October 2012 - Strand 3.2: Support for Cooperation projects between organisations involved in cultural policy analysis

3rd October 2012 - Strand 1: Support for Cultural Cooperation Projects 

The Commission is keen to increase the involvement of HEIs within this programme and proposals for the two strands above require a minimum of three to six partners.
