Funding lines

 
The Fund establishes partnerships with mobility funders. These funders contribute to the General Fund or define a specific mobility funding line.

The General Fund

The General Fund is open to all requests for grants that respect the eligibility criteria of the Fund, whatever the destination of travel, the artistic discipline or the direction of mobility. The General Fund functions on an annual basis which means that candidates can apply for the first session of the year, and to the other sessions depending on the funding available. If all the mobility funding has been allocated, you must wait until the following year to apply.

Special funding lines
