GSS EU Science Funding Gateway

The Creative Europe Programme supports the culture and audiovisual sectors.

50% of total eligible costs.

After grant signature, the applicant will normally receive a pre-financing to start working on the project (float of normally 70% of the maximum grant amount; exceptionally less or no prefinancing). The prefinancing will be paid 30 days from entry into force/financial guarantee (if required) — whichever is the latest.

In order to be eligible, the applicants (beneficiaries and affiliated entities) must:

• be legal entities (public or private bodies)
• be established in one of the eligible countries, i.e.:
  • Creative Europe Participating Countries:
  • EU Member States (including overseas countries and territories (OCTs)
  • non-EU countries:
    • listed EEA countries and countries associated to the Creative Europe Programme or countries which are in ongoing negotiations for an association agreement and where the agreement enters into force before grant signature – list of participating countries
  • be established in one of the countries participating fully in the MEDIA strand and owned directly or indirectly, wholly or by majority participation, by nationals from such countries. When a company is publicly listed, the location of the stock exchange will in principle determine its nationality
  • be European video game production companies, XR studios and audiovisual production companies that can demonstrate recent experience in producing commercially distributed eligible works.
