for Culture

The Executive Agency for Education, Audiovisual and Culture in the European Commission announced on 28 February successful applicants to two strands of the Culture programme: Small Cooperation Projects (“Cooperation measures”) and Cultural Policy Analysis projects. Also announced earlier in February is support for organisations acting as European Ambassadors and European Advocacy Networks.

For Strand 1.2.1 (cooperation projects), the UK’s success rate is 46%, double the overall average success rate of 24%, and 2nd only to Germany out of the larger eligible countries. 12 projects with lead UK organisations were selected, and a further 34 UK organisations were coorganisers in successful projects with lead organisers in another eligible country. Although detailed budgets for the selected projects are not made public, a rough estimate of the support to UK organisations and UK-based networks through these 3 strands is 3.3 million EUR.

Congratulations to all successful UK organisations!
