Culture moves Europe launches new call for Individual Mobility

On 1 October, the EU-funded ‘Culture Moves Europe’ programme launched a new call for applications. The European Commission has allocated a further €25 million, enabling support for an additional 7,000 artists and cultural professionals until 2028. The programme is implemented by the Goethe-Institut.

The Call for Individual Mobility is open to artists and cultural professionals based in Creative Europe countries who wish to carry out a project in another participating country. Applicants must be aged 18 or older, and different backgrounds and levels of experience are welcome.

Covering seven sectors and featuring a straightforward application process, the scheme aims to expand access to artistic and cultural mobility across Europe and neighbouring regions.

The applicants can apply individually or as part of a group of up to 5 people. Projects can be implemented in one country and must be between 7 and 60 days long for individual projects, and between 7 and 21 days for group applications.

The grant offers a daily allowance (€85 per day of project implementation), travel (automatically calculated based on distance), green mobility top-up (€400), family top-up (€200 per child), and a visa top-up (€120). Accessibility support can also be provided.

Grants will be awarded on a monthly basis until 30 April 2026.

The call is open to artists from Armenia, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine. Applicants based in Moldova or with Moldova as a destination, can submit their application from January 2026 onwards.

Later this year, the next Call for Residency Hosts will be open on 15 December 2025, with further calls scheduled until 2028.
