Each year in October since 2014 hundreds of cultural organisations from across Europe – and beyond – suddenly become very busy (even more so than usual anyway). That is when due date for applications for the Creative Europe Cooperation Projects starts nearing, bound to significantly turn their international fortunes.
To sum it up briefly, Creative Europe is a 1.46 billion euros worth EU programme meant for the cultural and creative sectors between the years 2014-2020. It is intended to foster cross-border cooperation, to encourage the circulation of creative works and to ease the mobility of cultural players; all in all, to support the creation of a shared European cultural space. The programme is divided into two parts, MEDIA and CULTURE, with the later being further divided into European Platforms, European Networks, Literary translation, and Cooperation Projects. The latter is the one that just recently presented the result from last autumn, with roughly 35,5 million euros at stake. And, in a yet again stunning performance of their application-genius, Slovene cultural organisations managed to clinch no less than 1,2 million of it.
The Slovenia case
Such a performance was, in a way, but a minor surprise. In the words of Peter Inkei from the Budapest observatory (when analysing the results between 2014 and 2016): "Slovenia is the incontestable east-central European champion in the Creative Europe programme". Well, in 2017 he reiterated himself, saying "the champion is again Slovenia with a 35% success rate". What does that mean?
Out of 548 applications (with the corresponding 548 project leaders) 20 had a Slovene leader. 81 projects were chosen to be financed in 2017 (each project an last up to 48 months, but is typically shorter) and 7 of them are led by a Slovene organisation. This is about three times better than the average. Another 9 projects have 10 Slovene organisation as partners (this is, by the way, the preferable position in terms of the funds/responsibility-and-drama trade-off). What Inkei rhetorically says is "are Slovenes born cultural managers? "
We do not know about the genetic factor, but what is surely one of the important aspects is the obviously competence of the Creative Europe Desk Slovenia. A small NGO helping out the applicants with advice and support. With them we are running a a data mining and interoperability project by which we annually graphically and interactively present the result.
- Organisations by status
- Public
- Private
- Projects by field
- film and audiovisual projects
- interdisciplinary projects
- multimedia and new technologies
- books and reading / literary translation
- cultural heritage
- architecture, design and applied arts
- performing arts (theatre, dance, music)
- visual arts
- Organisation's role in the project
- beneficiary
- co-beneficiary
EU funding, an interactive approach
This graphic and interactive visualisation represents the data related to the EU funding for culture, film and audiovisual media raised by Slovene organisations in the period 2000–2017. The programmes have been called different names (Culture 2000, MEDIA Plus, Culture, MEDIA and Creative Europe programmes) and creative Europe is a fairly recent creation).
Currently, 2017 has only the results for Cooperation Projects, with each square representing one participant, linking to his profile on dotični portal. Each article about a recipient of either EU Culture or MEDIA grant now includes also a complete list of projects.
You can see the distribution by art field, yet also by the role in the project (leader/partner) and – interestingly – if the organisation is a public one or a private one (typically a ngo). And this can already be discerned, 2017 is the year when public institutes have almost caught up with the previously much more industrious ngo sector. What are the reasons for this and if the still austerity is of any guide is a speculation better left to others.
