General Information

i-Portunus is a scheme funded by the European Commission that supports the mobility of artists, creators and cultural professionals, implemented by consortia of cultural organisations. It funds short-term mobilities for individuals to go abroad or for hosts to attract international talent.

i-Portunus’ main objective is to connect international artists, creators and cultural professionals and to support international collaborations among all countries participating in the Creative Europe Programme. It’s the “Erasmus” of the culture world.

Hosts or Individuals

Currently, i-Portunus is implemented by two pilot projects, managed by two consortia of cultural organisations.

  • i-Portunus Houses headed by the European Cultural Foundation, funds cultural mobility via two Calls for Applications for hosts.
  • Goethe Institute, launched five Calls for Applications in the cultural sectors of Music, Literary Translation, Architecture and Cultural Heritage and funds mobility for individuals.

The results of these two projects, in addition to the first project implemented in 2019, will be reviewed by the European Commission in designing the final form of i-Portunus and its funding parameters, as a permanent action of the Creative Europe programme 2021-2027.  The first projects in the new programme are planned to start in 2022.

The results of the selected applicants for the following schemes have been published:

Open Call – music 1
Open Call – literary translation

TEXT ME: Young Curators was an exciting new learning program based at the Media Art Festival in Leeuwarden. As the intercultural exchange was at the heart of the program, they were also joined in many open activities by local curators and professionals. Together, the group focused on training in curatorial practice and writing, through a diverse program of inspiring activities at and around the Media Art Festival.

“Work is oftentimes a direct response to reality and mobility allows to see different realities, and therefore, the creation of a variety of responses one would have never been able to see.” —Viktorija Zilinskaite
