EUNIC Cluster Fund Call for Proposals 2020 is now open for applications
The Cluster Fund Call 2020 contributes to supporting local cultural sectors worldwide. This year's fund sees an increase of 50% from 2019, with 20 EUNIC members contributing to a total budget of 313,370 euros.
The purpose of this call is to co-finance clusters’ projects that contribute to the principles of international cultural relations and to the implementation of the new EUNIC Strategic Framework for 2020-2024. In the context of the Covid-19 crisis and the unprecedented challenges that cultural sectors worldwide are facing, EUNIC members published a joint statement on the importance of cultural relations in a post-crisis global society in which they call to make support to local cultural scenes around the globe a priority. As a result, this year's call will give special attention to project proposals that aim to support local cultural scenes, co-designed and co-delivered with local partners.
All EUNIC clusters are invited to apply with a cultural relations project until 4 November. Clusters can apply for up to 15,000 euros, representing not more than 50% of the total project budget. Submitted proposals need to involve a minimum of three full EUNIC members and the project needs to be aligned with the local strategy of the cluster.
