For the period 2021–2027, the European Union offers funding for the cultural, creative, and audiovisual sectors also through other EU programmes.
CulturEU Funding Guide
The interactive guide is a tool developed by the European Commission with the aim of facilitating access to funding opportunities for the cultural and creative sectors through the various European Union programmes available in the 2021–2027 periods.
The Guide effectively directs stakeholders to potential funding opportunities through a concise and clear set of questions related to the activity, the type of organisation, and the type of support sought. Upon completion of these steps, the tool narrows down the results and display relevant funding sources and open calls in line with the provided responses. The results also include information on the available budget, the application process, and specific links to the programmes or calls.
The digital publication CulturEU Funding Guide, which provides information on how to use this tool as well as on complementary EU programmes that finance projects in the cultural and creative sectors, can be downloaded here.
Examples of good practices of projects in the cultural and creative sectors supported by other EU programmes can be found here.

NEW EUROPEAN BAUHAUS
The New European Bauhaus (NEB) is a policy and funding initiative of the European Union aiming to make the green transition in built environments more pleasant, attractive, and comfortable for European citizens, enhancing their well-being and sense of belonging.
The initiative promotes solutions that are not only sustainable but also inclusive and aesthetically valuable, while respecting the diversity of places, traditions, and cultures in Europe and beyond.
The New European Bauhaus is implemented through:
- engaging people from local communities, with a focus on neighborhoods;
- providing tools and guidance;
- offering solutions tailored to different communities;
- incorporating input from various stakeholders in the design and implementation process;
- prioritizing people and social inclusion, as well as supporting the economy to enhance the competitiveness and strategic autonomy of the European Union.
