Creative Europe - Support for Access to Markets

This Creative Europe programme offers opportunities for European organisations to increase access to markets through a variety of means, including exchanges, increasing the visibility of works, or improving the circulation of works.
Opportunities exist for initiatives that provide:
* Access to physical markets;
* Online tools for professionals (such as a database of programmes or the development of tools);
* Common European promotional activities.
These may take the form of individual activities (single-action) or multiple activities (frameworks).
Initiatives in the areas of video-on-demand, the digitisation of audiovisual works, and digital distribution platforms are not eligible for participation.

This notice of a call for proposals is based on the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on establishing the Creative Europe Programme (2014-2020). Within the field of reinforcing the audiovisual sector's capacity, some of the priorities of the MEDIA Sub-programme shall be to:
• increase the capacity of audiovisual operators to develop European audiovisual works with a potential to circulate in the Union and beyond and to facilitate European and international co-production, including with television broadcasters;
• encourage business to business exchanges by facilitating access to markets and business tools for audiovisual operators to increase the visibility of their projects on Union and international markets.
The MEDIA Sub-programme shall provide support for:
• facilitating access to professional audiovisual trade events and markets and the use of online business tools inside and outside the Union;
• facilitating circulation of European films worldwide and of international films in the Union on all distribution platforms, via international cooperation projects in the audiovisual sector.
