Belfast Culture Euro Seminars

The Cultureuro Seminars provide the latest information on European cultural co-operation & funding opportunities for 2007. Not only will the seminars explore Culture 2007, but new programmes for education, training, young people, the environment, research & development - plus the new Structural Funds, and possible new opportunities for rural areas from changes to the the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) budgets.

Cultur€uro seminars highlight not only current and future EU funding opportunities but also ways in which cultural organisations can build partnerships, access other European sources of funding and deal with the challenges of the latest EU rules and regulations. The seminars will encompass:

• A brief overview of the EU - knowing how it works can help you know what's in it for you
• A summary of EU funding programmes from 2007 including the new trans-national and Structural Funds, and - for the first time - summary information on new rural opportunities arising from the revised CAP regulations
• A brief overview of non-EU opportunities, including European trusts and foundations, as well as bursaries, grants and awards
• Key requirements for applying to EU programmes and tips for developing a proposal
• Tips for building partnerships across Europe, including inside advice on where to start and how to foster new relationships.

Please note that these seminars will not, for example, go through the detailed steps involved in completing the application form for any individual EU funding programme. With the support of the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, EUCLID has been able to reduce the price of the seminars by 40% - to just £50 (+VAT).
