Individual Mobility

Culture Moves Europe supports cultural mobility across the 41 Creative Europe countries. It is funded by the European Union’s Creative Europe programme and implemented by the Goethe-Institut. The call for applications awards grants to artists and cultural practitioners to enable them to travel and carry out a project in another Creative Europe country.

The individual mobility programme is aimed directly at artists and cultural practitioners working in the fields of architecture, cultural heritage, design and fashion design, literature, music, the performing arts and the visual arts.

Conditions of Funding

Application deadline

Applications can be submitted from 1 October 2026 to 30 April 2027.

The call for applications is a so-called "rolling call" – applications are reviewed on a monthly basis and funding is awarded immediately afterwards.

From past experience, many applicants wait until the last deadline to submit their application. This means that the competition is significantly higher in the last month; we therefore advise submitting the application at an earlier monthly deadline.
