Creative Europe Desk Spain

ended

Creative Europe Desk Spain is the national contact point for the Creative Europe Programme in Spain. As stated in the legal basis of the Programme, published in May 2021, the national desks have three main tasks that are also assumed by Spanish CED: to promote the Programme at national level, to support potential beneficiaries in application processes and provide peer mentoring for newcomers to the Programme, and support the Commission in ensuring proper communication and dissemination of the results of the Programme to citizens and operators in the cultural and creative sectors. The consortium forming Spanish CED is composed by a Coordinating Body, hosted in Spanish Ministry of Culture and Sports, whose main role is being the unique contact point between Spanish CED and EACEA; and five information Offices, one for the Culture subprogramme which covers all the Spanish territory (also hosted at the Ministry) and four for the MEDIA subprogramme, three of them with a regional scope (Andalucía, Cataluña and Basque Country, all of them hosted in regional governments) and a fourth one which covers the rest of the Spanish territory, with the legal structure of a foundation. This consortium was created in order to manage the Creative Europe programme and Spanish desk during the 2014-20 period and it was confirmed by the Spanish authorities at the beginning of the 2021-27 period. Thus, the representative of the Spanish Creative Europe Desk signed the Grant Agreement during 2021 to cover 2021-22 period. In order to fulfill the objectives named above, the Coordination body applies, on behalf of the Spanish CE Desk, for the grant that covers 2023 and 2024.
