EU Funding Information Day
The Lighthouse, 56 Mitchell Street, Glasgow G1 3LX
Creative Scotland is running an information day on EU funding opportunities for creative and cultural organisations in Scotland, with a chance to network with other professionals interested in developing European and international projects and activity.
The UK, including Scotland, is still fully eligible to apply for EU funding opportunities while we remain a member of the European Union, and this event aims to help develop a better understanding of opportunities for creative and cultural organisations within these programmes.
The day will feature short funding overviews from contact points for Creative Europe, Erasmus+, Interreg, Horizon 2020 and Europe for Citizens, and we’ll hear some inspiring stories and practical tips through case studies of organisations that have been partners in EU supported projects, exchanges and activity. This will include: Curated Place in Manchester; Crooked House in Ireland; and the Scottish Documentary Institute. The afternoon will be a flurry of four sets of roundtables of the six programmes, giving you an opportunity to track down the funding opportunities most relevant to your work and ask questions.
A more in-depth description of the event can be viewed on Eventbrite, and further information about the funding programmes and featured projects is also available.
