nemo – northern european mobility opportunity
NEMO is a pilot programme for mobility and artistic exchange, supported by the Nordic Culture Fund and the arts funding agencies of Ireland, England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The programme aims to foster international collaboration, strengthen artistic networks across the region and support more artists and arts professionals in engaging with international partners.
The call focuses on individual artists and arts practitioners in the early stages of their careers, reflecting a shared recognition among the partners that this group has a particular need for additional support and opportunities in the current climate.
As near neighbours, the Nordic countries, the UK and Ireland constitute a shared international space with fertile ground for creative collaborations.
However, several developments in recent years, including the pandemic, growing economic uncertainty, and the UK’s exit from the European Union, have contributed to making international working across the region more difficult. The call therefore builds on a reciprocal wish to broaden the possibilities for practitioners across the Northern European cultural scene.
The shared aims of this programme are to:
- Foster international collaboration.
- Develop artistic networks across the region.
- Encourage more artists and arts practitioners to work confidently with international partners.
