Funding opportunities

If you are looking for financing for an international project, there are many places you can turn to. Which scheme is relevant to your projects depends on several factors, including the artistic or other objectives, the country where or with which you will be working, the project partners and whether you are acting as an individual artist or as an organisation which is a separate legal entity.
