GSS EU Science Funding Gateway

The war in Ukraine has devastating effects on the Ukrainian cultural heritage and on cultural organisations and artists that cannot operate and reach out to their national and international audience. Additionally, many Ukrainian displaced people and children fleeing the war and currently staying in other locations in Ukraine or in other Creative Europe countries will not be able to return to their pre-war locations because of destruction. Those staying in other Creative Europe countries will have to interact with their new communities to facilitate their integration.

Objective 1 – short term

Objective 2 – medium term

The achievement of these objectives, especially the post-war recovery of the Ukrainian cultural sectors should be built on Ukraine’s new status as EU candidate country.

Grants will be provided to consortium of organisations implementing activities for the benefit of a wider number of stakeholders (i.e., organisations and/or individuals). It will also support activities implemented by third parties, as explained below.

Support will be given to three projects, as indicated below:

• Max EUR 2,000,000 to address objective 1.a: support Ukrainian artists and cultural organisations to create and showcase their art and works. Proposals addressing this objective should demonstrate through adequate experience a good capacity to finance a large number of small projects through cascading grants.
• Max EUR 2,000,000 to address objective 1.b: help through culture Ukrainians displaced by the war. Proposals addressing this objective should demonstrate through adequate experience a good capacity to finance a large number of small projects through cascading grants.
