Budget
The Programme has a total budget of EUR 400 million for the 2007-2013 period.
Total yearly appropriations, including for those actions that do not form part of this guide, may vary from around EUR 43 million to about EUR 58 million, depending on the year.

The activities supported within the Programme belong to three main typologies, which correspond to the strands of the Programme. The organizations from Belarus are welcomed to submit their Concept Notes to take part in the Strand: Support for cultural projects (Cooperation Projects with Third Countries (lasting up to twenty four months). This Strand seeks to support cultural cooperation projects aimed at cultural exchanges between the countries taking part in the Programme and Third Countries, which have concluded association or cooperation agreements with the EU, provided that the latter contain cultural clauses. Every year one or more Third Country(ies) is/are selected for that particular year. The country(ies) is/are indicated each year on the website of the Executive Agency at the latest 4 months before 1 May.

 

The action must generate a concrete international cooperation dimension. The cooperation projects involve at least three cultural operators, from at least three eligible countries and cultural cooperation with at least one organisation from the selected Third Country and/or involve cultural activities carried out in the selected Third Country. Funds of between EUR 50.000 and maximum EUR 200.000 are available, but EU support is limited to maximum 50% of the total eligible cost.
