Culture Moves Europe is a scheme that supports the mobility of artists, creators and cultural professionals.

It is part of Creative Europe’s Culture strand. The mobility scheme is particularly focused on emerging artists.

Rolling calls for all sectors at once will be open every year between autumn and spring.

The scheme consists of **two types of grants**: individual mobility (for individuals and groups of up to five persons) and residencies.

  
**1\. Individual mobilities action**

* For individual artists and cultural professionals travelling between 7 and 60 days or groups of individuals (up to 5 persons travelling between 7 and 21 days).

  
**2\. Residencies action**

* Short term residencies from 1 to 3 months
* Long term residencies from 3 to 6 months
* Extended residencies up to 10 months

  
With a budget of €21 million, Culture Moves Europe offers mobility grants to around 7,000 artists, cultural professionals and host organisations from 2022 to 2025\. Funded by the creative Europe programme of the European Union, Culture Moves Europe is implemented by the Goethe-Institut.

  

Culture Moves Europe's Mobility Grant includes: standard travel costs (**€350 round trip up to 5,000 km and €700 round trip for distances longer than 5,001 km**) and **€75 per diem** to contribute to the subsistence and accommodation expenses. Additionally, in line with horizontal priorities of the programme, such as inclusion and sustainability, several top-ups are foreseen:

  
* Green top-up: additional €350 to encourage artists and cultural professionals not to use air-travel.
* Support for artists and cultural operators with special needs linked to disability.
* Support for applicants coming from Outermost Countries and Territories and outermost regions or travelling to those destinations.
* Family top-up for artists who have a child younger than 10 years old.
* Visa top-up to purchase a visa.

  
Also, Ukrainian artists, who may not be able to leave the country, could exceptionally apply directly for virtual mobility. In that case, they would receive €35 per diem.
