The Arts Council will host an online Funding Information Clinic to provide an overview of the Co-Funding Award which supports organisations that have secured Creative Europe Cooperation Projects funding or organisations who need funding for partner meetings in preparation for Creative Europe Cooperation Project applications. The deadline to apply for the Arts Council Co-funding Award is 5th December, 2024.

The Arts Council Co-funding Award 2025 is subdivided by strands:

Strand 1: Co-funding Award for Creative Europe Cooperation Projects commencing in 2025

The primary purpose of Strand 1 of this award is to enable Irish organisations that have secured funding, either as Lead Co-ordinator or Partner, for artistic activities under the Cooperation Projects strands of the Creative Europe Programme 2021–27 to apply for co-funding. Funding will be considered to support Irish arts activities that align with the objectives and priorities of this award.

Applications from non-arts organisations will be eligible only where an Irish arts organisation has been identified as a participant in the project and where Arts Council support will be used for the benefit of the arts organisation’s Irish art activities. Applications for a Co-funding Award for Cooperation Projects must be made in the same calendar year in which an offer of funding is received from the EACEA.

Strand 2: Co-funding Award for Partner Meetings in preparation for Creative Europe Cooperation Project applications

The primary purpose of this strand is to enable Irish organisations to apply for support towards meetings with potential European partners in preparation for applications to the Cooperation Projects strand of the Creative Europe Programme 2021-2027.

Art organisations wishing to apply are encouraged to attend the clinic to develop a better understanding of what the Co-funding Award aims to achieve, its core criteria, and the decision process. The clinic will be led by the Head of International Arts, Davide Terlingo.

The Clinic will cover:

• The purpose and priorities of the award
• The application process
• The assessment and decision making process
• Eligibility criteria.

There will be an opportunity for Q&As and to ask for general advice on making an application for co-funding.

Please note that advance booking is essential - please register here.

The Creative Europe 2025 call for European Cooperation projects is expected to open in December with the deadline for applications in May 2025.
