Creative Europe Programme (2014 to 2020)
Aimed at promoting Europe's cultural and linguistic diversity and boosting its competitiveness in the cultural, audiovisual and creative sectors, Creative Europe has been launched to meet the challenges of market fragmentation, the digital age, globalisation and data collection.
ACT
Regulation (EU) No 1295/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2013 establishing the Creative Europe Programme (2014 to 2020) and repealing Decisions No 1718/2006/EC, No 1855/2006/EC and No 1041/2009/EC.
SUMMARY
An estimated 8.5 million people are directly employed in Europe's cultural sector. Europe's diversity of cultures and traditions can often mean that the sector faces market fragmentation, making it hard for authors and performers to reach international audiences in countries and find their market.
In addition, globalisation and digital technologies are revolutionising creativity and the way the arts are distributed and accessed, as well as transforming business models and the way artists are remunerated. And there is little comparable data at European level which would help fine-tune the support provided to the cultural and creative sectors. This programme seeks both to address these challenges and harness their potential benefits.
Actions covered by the programme include:
Management
The programme is managed by the Education, Culture and Audiovisual Executive Agency in Brussels.
Eligibility
The programme is open to European Union (EU) countries and, provided that they meet certain conditions, EFTA countries, candidate and potential candidate countries to EU membership, and countries that are part of the EU neighbourhood policy area (Algeria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Egypt, Georgia, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya,Moldova, Morocco, Palestine, Syria, Tunisia and Ukraine).
Budget
Creative Europe has a budget of EUR 1.46 billion for the period 2014-2020. Non-EU countries have to pay a contribution to participate in the programme.
