Application Creative Europe Desk NL 2023 and 2024

2026-07-22

DutchCulture (DC) proudly hosts the Creative Europe Desk NL (CEDNL) and continues to do so for 2023 and 2024. The main objectives and methodology of the CEDNL are to: 1) Promote the Programme at our national cultural, creative and audio-visual sectors. We therefore provide relevant information, both content wise, financially and technically. We share best practises to inspire potential beneficiaries to apply and to a broader audience to create more awareness of the cultural goals of the EU in general and to this specific programme in particular. 2) Support potential beneficiaries in their application processes and provide assistance at several levels. We link new beneficiaries to more experienced ones, we initiate and participate in (international) matchmaking sessions to stimulate cross-border cooperation and we enable the exchange of experiences and best practices between professionals and institutions within the cultural, creative and audio-visual sector. 3) Communicate and disseminate the results of the programme to citizens and to the operators in the cultural and creative sectors. CEDNL has its own communication strategy in order to promote the Creative Europe programme, our activites, project results and finalized projects in the most effective way. At the end of the last programme, we made an analysis of the participation of organisations in Creative Europe 2014-2020. We base our needs analysis and target groups both on this analysis and the key sectors and issues as defined in the work programme. To reach these target groups, we organise events, infosessions and one-on-one advise meetings. We participate in other events and cooperate with other funding programmes such as HorizonEurope and Erasmus+ to share EU opportunities for the Dutch CCS widely. We inform ourselves about policy developments and general information about the programme, such as the launch of the new application Creative Europe Desk NL 2023 and 2024.
