Open Call for Cultural Cooperation 2023
About

Cultural Cooperation invite cultural professionals and institutions in the Netherlands to submit project proposals in the field of cultural cooperation. The condition is that the project promotes the rich cultural relations between Morocco and the Netherlands.
The project must meet one of the Embassy’s cultural objectives, being:
to promote institutional collaborations and exchange of expertise in the cultural domain and
to make culture accessible to young people. This scheme temporarily makes funds available for Dutch-Moroccan partner projects.
What do they offer?
90.000 EURO is available for this call.
The project partners can apply for a minimum of 5.000 EURO and a maximum of 25.000 EURO.
Direct costs related to the project are eligible. A maximum of 75% of the total project budget is granted.
Funds are transferred to the Dutch project partner (organization or legal entity), which is responsible for paying partners and third parties.
Subsidy will be granted only to the extent that ICB funds (the 90.000 EURO designated for Morocco) are sufficient. It is possible that not all applications will be approved. In the case of a positive decision, the full amount requested is not always granted.
