The new 2025 work programme of Creative Europe will support the audiovisual industry and other creative and cultural sectors, funding projects in diverse fields ranging from cinema to literature. The strategy, which will build on the lessons learned over the previous four years, will further integrate the themes of green, digital, and social inclusion.
The 2025 work programme allocates over €338 million to help professionals and artists from all cultural sectors collaborate interdisciplinarily and transnationally to gain more opportunities and reach new audiences.
The new initiatives under Creative Europe will take into account developments in the cultural and creative sectors, experience from previous years' implementation, and feedback from stakeholder dialogue. Additionally, these initiatives will aim to steer the Culture ecosystem towards an ecologically sustainable, inclusive, and digitally advanced future.
Specifically, the funds available for the European programme next year are divided among various interventions - including calls, competitions, and awards - referring to the three components of the programme: Culture section, Media section, and Cross-sectoral section. Here are the first indications on the new Creative Europe calls.
