Last week, the Commission published results of the previous call for the individual mobility action.
More than 1,600 projects from 39 countries in Europe and beyond have been selected for financing with 2,870 mobility grants worth €5,199,280 in total.
Projects will take place in all cultural and creative sectors, with an increased participation in architecture and literature compared with the first call.
Some 40% of the successful grantees have been granted a green travel top-up for their mobility project.
Comment came from the EU commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, Iliana Ivanova.
She said: “Culture Moves Europe is becoming the reference for green and inclusive cultural mobility within the continent and beyond.”
“I proudly note that artists and organisations from overseas countries and territories are increasingly participating in the scheme. I wholeheartedly congratulate all the grantee hosts and artists who contribute to the richness of our European cultures and make them thrive.”
Furthermore, the results of the third call for the residency action of the Culture Moves Europe mobility scheme are available.
With its third selection, the EU says that some 309 artists and cultural professionals will be supported, reaching the target of 1,000 artists supported through residency projects since the first call.
A total of 93 projects from 31 Creative Europe countries have been selected for a total estimated grant of €1,125,000.
