    Creative Partners - free listings

    Creative.Partners is an initiative from Euclid, the UK’s leading independent provider of information and advice on EU funding opportunities for the arts and culture sector.  www.creative.partners is a new website which provides a freeplatform for arts & culture organisations to list themselves as looking for partners, or to search for partners.  The service is not limited to Europe, though it does allow listings to indicate if they are searching for partners for specific EU funding programmes, including Creative Europe, Erasmus+, Europe for Citizens, Horizon 2020, Life+ and Interreg A/B.


    Creative Europe - Networks and Networking

    Collaboration is a key part of Creative Europe and joining a European network of creative, cultural or heritage organisations can be a great way to engage in new conversations and meet potential partners to collaborate with.

    Creative Europe Desk UK is holding a series of events that give UK organisations insight into various European and international networks and to help them to be better networked and more integrated in European conversations. On this occasion, you can find out about:

    • IETM, a Creative Europe-supported international network for contemporary performing arts.
    • Culture Action Europe, a Creative Europe-supported advocacy and lobby network promoting arts and culture.
