Call for proposals 2025- European Cooperation Projects (CREA-CULT-2025-COOP)
Open Call
Creative Europe brings together actions supporting the European cultural and creative sectors. The term 'cultural and creative sectors' means all sectors whose activities are based on cultural values or artistic and other individual or collective creative expressions. The activities may include the development, the creation, the production, the dissemination and the preservation of goods and services, which embody cultural, artistic, or other creative expressions, as well as education or management, related to these activities. Those sectors include, inter alia, architecture, archives, libraries and museums, artistic crafts, audio-visual (including film, television, video games and multimedia), tangible and intangible cultural heritage, design (including fashion design), festivals, music, literature, performing arts, books and publishing, radio, and visual arts.
The general objectives of the Programme are:
• to safeguard, develop and promote European cultural and linguistic diversity and heritage.
• to increase the competitiveness and the economic potential of the cultural and creative sectors, in particular the audio-visual sector.
The objectives of the Programme take into account the dual nature of the cultural and creative sectors, recognising, on the one hand, the intrinsic and artistic value of culture and, on the other, the economic value of those sectors, including their broader contribution to growth and competitiveness, creativity and innovation. The objectives are pursued in a way that encourages inclusion, equality, diversity and participation, including, where appropriate, specific incentives that encourage the active participation in the cultural and creative sectors of people with disabilities, people belonging to minorities and people belonging to socially marginalised groups, including both the creative process and audience development; and gender equality, in particular as a driver of economic growth, innovation and creativity. EU values being at the core of the EU programmes, beneficiaries and activities implemented within actions of the Creative Europe Programme have to respect the EU values, as reflected in Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union, and the rights and principles enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, particularly Article 21: respect of human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, rule of law, respect for human rights, non-discrimination based on sex, race, ethnic or social origins, genetic features, language, religion or belief, political or any other opinion, membership of a national minority, property, birth, disability, age or sexual orientation.
Objectives — Themes and priorities — Activities that can be funded — Expected impact
This section is applicable to the three topics (categories of projects) covered by this call:
- CREA-CULT-2025-COOP-1— European Cooperation Projects (Small Scale)
- CREA-CULT-2025-COOP-2 — European Cooperation Projects (Medium Scale)
- CREA-CULT-2025-COOP-3 – European Cooperation Projects (Large Scale)
Objectives
The action European Cooperation Projects supports projects involving organisations in the cultural and creative sectors of all sizes, including micro-organisations and smallsized organisations, and from different countries to undertake sectoral or cross-sectoral activities. The action is anchored in the policy framework of the Culture strand of the Creative Europe Programme and the EU Overarching Priorities (EU greening efforts, inclusion and gender equality, digital transition and international relations). European Cooperation Projects are also designed to contribute to the implementation of emerging EU policy initiatives such as the New European Bauhaus. Support will be given to cooperation projects contributing to only one of the following objectives: Objective 1 - Transnational creation and circulation: to strengthen the transnational creation and circulation of European works and artists. Transnational creation and circulation are important for the advancement of collaborations, increased outreach and in many cases necessary for the viability and development of cultural organisations, institutions and individuals. Co-production is also a tool to stimulate creativity, share resources and facilitate the trans-national distribution of content and the circulation of artists. Projects will consider the new context such as health or environmental concerns and integrate innovative (digital) ways of producing and disseminating content. Objective 2 – Innovation: to enhance the capacity of European cultural and creative sectors to nurture talents, to innovate, to prosper and to generate jobs and growth. Projects responding to this objective should be of capacity-building nature, which can be of technological and/or artistic nature and may include the development and experimentation of new practices or models, as well as the transfer and dissemination of innovative practices.
Areas of innovation can encompass a social or societal dimension such as: audience engagement/development, gender equality, the inclusion of people with disabilities, people belonging to minorities and people belonging to socially marginalised groups, fighting climate change, digitisation, etc. as well as culture’s contribution to health and well-being, especially mental health, given the existing evidence and the persisting mental health crisis affecting in particular the youth.
Conditions:

An organisation, as identified by their valid PIC number, can be part of a maximum of 3 applications submitted in this call, whether as coordinator and/or partner (including associated partner and affiliated entity) regardless of the topics chosen (COOP 1, 2 or 3).
