Nine seminars on accessing EU funding for cultural organisations
Howard Lake | 10 May 2010 | News
EUCLID is running a series of regional half-day seminars to help UK cultural organisations access some of the millions of euros available from the European Union.
The EU’s Culture programme (2007-2013) has a budget of €400 million to encourage mobility and to celebrate Europe’s cultural diversity. There are also many other EU programmes which offer grants for arts and cultural projects or exchanges and visits.
The seminars are designed to give cultural organisations the tools to make a successful bid for European funding. According to the European Commission, 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”.
The seminars include 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.
They also cover ways in which cultural organisations can develop European partnerships, and how cultural organisations can deal with the latest EU rules and regulations. There will also be a brief reminder of non-EU opportunities, including European trusts and foundations, as well as bursaries, grants and awards.
The courses take place at:
• Cardiff, Local Government Data Unit, 18 May
• Norwich 3rd June, The Garage
• Leeds 8th June
• Liverpool 10th June
• Belfast 15th June
• Newcastle 22nd June, Civic Centre
• Nottingham 24th June, Holiday Inn Express
• Coventry – date TBC
• Nottingham – date TBC
Seminars cost just £78 per person. All seminars start at 1.30pm, and end at 4.30pm, with registration and tea & coffee from 1.00pm
