Northern European Mobility Opportunity Grant for Artists in the Nordic countries, the UK and Ireland
Hybrid mobility
Open for: Individuals / Organisations & Collectives Artists, Producers & Managers Cross-disciplinary
NEMO (Northern European Mobility Opportunity) is a pilot programme for mobility and artistic exchange, supported by the Nordic Culture Fund and the arts funding agencies of Ireland, England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The programme aims to foster international collaboration, strengthen artistic networks across the region and support more artists and arts professionals in engaging with international partners.
The call focuses on individual artists and arts practitioners in the early stages of their careers, reflecting a shared recognition among the partners that this group has a particular need for additional support and opportunities in the current climate.
Artists and arts practitioners based in the Nordic countries (Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and the Åland Islands), as well as those in the UK (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales) and Ireland, are eligible to apply.
Artists and arts practitioners in the Nordic countries can apply to develop a partnership or collaboration (e.g. with individuals, groups, or organisations) in one of the five nations comprising the UK and Ireland – and vice versa. All parties involved in the application must have clearly agreed on the scope of the partnership before the application is submitted.
The call’s total budget would make possible up to 30 grants of up to 75,000 DKK. As this is a limited sum, the organisers expect applications to have a focus on the early stages of partnership and collaboration. For example:
* Travel for partnership development and/or research and development rather than co-production costs.
* Exchange of knowledge, know-how and experience.
* Mentorships e.g. exchange of working methods, traditions, processes.
* Capacity building e.g. strengthening of skills, resources, structures (in order to work internationally)
* Creation of / Design of a small-scale pilot for a future collaboration.
Applications can be for physical, digital or hybrid activity in response to the programme aims. Expenditure should be on travel, accommodation and allowances for time spent.
