In a rapidly evolving digital media landscape, the Commission continues to invest in innovative solutions to enhance the media literacy skills of all European citizens, support effective cross-border cooperation, and limit the detrimental impact of disinformation.

The present call for proposals has been launched under the cross-sectoral strand of the Creative Europe Programme.

The available budget is EUR 2 570 000. Each project cannot request more than EUR 500.000 for a two-year project. The maximum co-financing rate is 70% of the total eligible costs. This means that applicants need to co-finance their projects.

The conditions outlined below are based on the call. In case of discrepancy, the text in the call prevails.
