It suits you if…

  • You are set up to build and run a networked online support platform.
  • Your organisation has its registered office in an EU country or in another country the call lists as eligible.
  • You can run a pilot to test the platform against what the cultural and creative sectors need.
  • You can prepare an online form, a PDF description and a detailed lump sum budget table.

It is not for you if…

  • Your organisation has its registered office outside the eligible countries listed by the call.
  • You want money for a cultural production or touring rather than a support platform.
  • You need the money to be paid on actual invoices, because this call uses a lump sum.

How much you can get

The call does not state the budget, the size of each grant or the share you pay yourself. The costs are paid as a lump sum: one agreed amount for the work, not a refund of each invoice. At the end you send a report, and the final grant is calculated from it. Ask your National Contact Point before you build the budget.

What it pays and what it does not

Pays

  • The work of setting up the permanent, networked virtual support platform, paid as a lump sum.
  • The pilot that tests whether the platform fits sector needs and works technically and in practice.

Does not pay

  • The call does not list excluded costs. Check the lump sum rules before you plan the budget.
  • The consultant's fee for writing the proposal cannot go into the budget.

Mistakes that cost you the money

  • Waiting for the closing day to submit on the portal. Consequence: A technical problem on the last day can leave you without a valid application.
  • Ignoring the page limits and layout set in the call annexes. Consequence: Your description may not meet the requirements set in the call annexes.
  • Planning the budget as a refund of invoices. Consequence: The lump sum table will not match what the call expects.
  • Putting the consultant's fee into the budget. Consequence: The cost is not accepted and your budget has to be corrected.
  • Forgetting the final report. Consequence: The final grant amount is calculated on the basis of that report.

We'll help you with the application

We prepare free of charge the documents about our products: technical and project description, a quote split by the call's cost items, timing and data sheets to attach. For questions about the call, Creative Europe Desks, the public help desk for applicants, guides you.

For this call and your type of organisation we do not yet have a partner consultant who prepares the application.
