i-Portunus #2: launch of the first two call for applications
Updated on 14/12/2020
The Institut français and its European partners, the Goethe-Institut (in Belgium) and Izolyatsia (in Ukraine), are launching the 2nd edition of the i-Portunus pilot project to support mobility of artists’ and professionals in the cultural and creative sectors in Europe. i-Portunus is a project co-financed by the European Union’s Creative Europe programme.
For this second edition, the objective is to test mobility within identified sectors, by proposing simple applications, addressed directly at creators and professionals in culture wanting to develop international collaboration projects or who have a professional development project requiring mobility beyond their borders.
Encounters are at the heart of this programme: this is why physical trips will be preferred; however, if the constraints related to the health crisis do not allow it, particular attention will be given to alternative collaboration solutions including virtual mobility.
This project should allow about 200 artists’ and professionals’ mobilities to be supported for periods of 7 to 60 days, in all States eligible for Creative Europe.
