Funding for innovative projects in the CCSI
Funding for innovative projects in the CCSI
The Center for Creativity, as a partner of EIT Culture & Creativity, is launching a special edition of the Information Office that will address the new series of EIT Culture & Creativity calls for subsidies from 60,000 to 350,000 EU.
The calls encourage the development of innovative projects in the cultural and creative sector and industries (CCSI) or in cooperation between CCSI and various partners from business, education or other sectors.
The call is expected to be issued at the end of December. Since the application deadlines are short, between 1-2 months, we are organizing an informative presentation before the launch of the call for all interested organizations on Thursday, December 19th, 2024 at 2:00 PM, with the aim of making the candidacy of Slovenian creators, companies and organizations from CCSI and other sectors as successful as possible.
The presentation will take place exclusively online. The Zoom link will be made available on the website of the Centre for Creativity in the week before the Information Office.
You can express your interest in participating in the informational meeting and monitoring of further EIT Culture & Creativity programs at the link.
