An international public agency administering museum-partnership calls.
Confirm eligible countries, legal status, institutional partnerships and the actual project costs supported. A funder’s broad mission is not the same as a programme’s eligibility.
Equipment, staff time, buildings and overheads may have different restrictions. Use only the current call’s permitted-cost rules, not a grant amount or cycle from an earlier round.
Describe the collections, communities, public value and achievable outcomes of your project. Do not reshape its facts to fit a funder. Check rights, consent and any open-access obligations before applying.
Potential sources are drawn from consolidated research. A research lead is not a verified open programme. Current calls are reviewed separately against linked official information, with dates, restrictions and unknowns shown. Availability can change.
