2026 Creative Europe call for European cooperation projects

DEADLINE: 5 May 2026, by 17:00

The European Commission has launched the 2026 Call for European Cooperation Projects under the Creative Europe programme. This initiative is designed to support approximately 150 small and medium-scale projects focused on transnational cooperation between European cultural and creative organizations.

The call aims to increase the cross-border dimension of creation and circulation of European artistic content, while encouraging the development, experimentation, dissemination, and application of new and innovative practices. It will support projects carrying out a broad spectrum of activities and initiatives involving artists and stakeholders active in different cultural and creative sectors.

Please Note: This call does not accept projects with purely audio-visual content or those composed exclusively of organizations from the audio-visual sector.
