Open calls for cultural professionals

Culture Moves Europe is a mobility scheme that supports individual mobility and residency projects across Creative Europe countries, territories and regions. It gives grants for artists and cultural professionals to travel and carry out a project in another Creative Europe country. The call is open to artists and cultural professionals who want to develop a mobility project with an international partner between their country of residence and another Creative Europe country. Applications are open from 1 October 2025 to 30 April 2026.

Das Goethe-Institut möchte einem internationalen Publikum den Zugang zu aktueller deutschsprachiger Literatur, Sachbüchern und Büchern für Kinder und Jugendliche erleichtern. Wir unterstützen Verlage weltweit, die deutschsprachige Bücher übersetzen. Bewerbungen sind dreimal jährlich jeweils einen Monat lang möglich.

With the ICF, we support co-productions worldwide that arise from collaborative and dialogical work processes between professional artists in the fields of music, dance, theater and performance.
