Learn how to access over €400million of Cultural funding.

EUCLID is again running a series of informative and fun regional Culture Euro seminars to help UK cultural organisations access some of the millions of euros available from the European Union.
‘This course de-mystified the process and language of EU and opened up new funding possibilities!’

The EU’s Culture programme (2007-2013) has a budget of €400 million to encourage mobility and to celebrate Europe’s cultural diversity, and there are many other EU programmes which offer grants for arts and cultural projects or exchanges and visits. These seminars, specifically designed for cultural organisations, will give you the tools to make a successful bid for European funding.
Statistics from the European Commission indicate that, in 2009, UK applications to the Culture programme had a 75% success rate - one of the highest success rates of applications to any funding programme or scheme, in the UK or in Europe.   Your project could be the next success stories!

What will the seminar cover?

• Background to the EU – knowing how it works and what’s in it for you
• Detailed information on the full range of EU funding programmes, including the Culture programme, the latest programmes for education, training and young people, the citizens, environment, and research & development programmes, plus the latest Structural Funds, and possible new opportunities for rural areas resulting from changes to the Common Agricultural Policy budgets.
• A brief reminder of non-EU opportunities, including European trusts and foundations, as well as bursaries, grants and awards
• Ways in which cultural organisations can develop European partnerships
• How cultural organisations can deal with the latest EU rules and regulations
• Important guidance for applying to the EU programmes and tips for developing an application
