Network funding

You can apply for support from the module for network building within the fields of art and culture in the Nordic and the Baltic countries.

The core of a network is to co-operate with operators from various fields, to develop partnerships and to learn from each other. It increases contacts, exchange experiences and good practices, and develop knowledge and skills. A network is also a cultural, artistic and social structure between organisations, groups and/or individuals.

Short-term network funding:

• funding for activities lasting up to 1 year
• the maximum amount is € 25 000
• covers a maximum of 70 % of the total expenses
• the network itself must cover the remaining costs of the budget and specify in the application how this will be achieved
• a well-functioning network may after a period with short-term funding consider applying to the module supporting long-term network activities

Long-term network funding

• funding for activities lasting up to 3 years
• the maximum amount is € 150 000
• covers a maximum of 50 % of the total expenses
• the network itself must cover the remaining costs of the budget and specify in the application how this will be achieved

Basic qualifications for a network

b) no less than 3 Baltic countries or
