New EU-Funded Grants for Independent Media in the Western Balkans

The EU-funded Innovation. Media. Minds. (IMM) Programme is now accepting applications for production grants supporting independent media in the Western Balkans. These grants aim to promote pluralism of expression, strengthen cooperation with Public Service Media (PSM), and enhance audience-focused reporting on topics like cultural exchange, rule of law, governance, and environmental issues. Grants of up to EUR 30,000 are available, with a total budget of EUR 90,000. Eligible applicants must be independent media outlets in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, or Serbia, with a formal agreement to broadcast content with a Western Balkan PSM. Applications are open until 13 November 2024 via the Goethe Application Portal (GAP).

Culture Moves Europe: Individual Mobility Action 3

The third call for the Individual Mobility Action under the Culture Moves Europe programme invites artists and cultural professionals to apply for a grant that enables them to carry out creative projects with a partner in another Creative Europe country. This grant supports projects aimed at exploring new artistic concepts, creating original works, expanding professional networks, or enhancing skills through collaboration. Applicants can propose projects that align with at least two of these goals, and the projects must be carried out in a country different from the applicant’s residence. This opportunity is available for both individual applicants and groups of up to five people, with flexible project durations ranging from 7 to 40 days depending on the project type. The grant covers travel and daily allowances, with additional top-ups available for factors such as environmental sustainability, visa requirements, or accessibility needs. Culture Moves Europe especially encourages participation from artists and professionals with disabilities, offering options for virtual or hybrid mobility. Applicants are reminded that the programme focuses on fostering creation and professional exchange, not simply presenting previously created work. Projects can start no earlier than 60 days from the monthly deadline, and the overall deadline for the third call is 30 November 2024.
