Music Export Poland
Music Export Poland Foundation was created out of the need to expand the export of Polish music and promote it
on foreign markets. The basic motivation to establish the Foundation was the conviction that, although Polish artists
and creators have been present on foreign markets for years, creating the right conditions and providing them with
the necessary competence will allow them to make even better use of their potential, and will give those who are just
beginning their adventure with export asolid foundation.
The activities of Music Export Poland focus on theoretical preparation and education of the Polish music market
players (through workshops, seminars, webinars, conferences, trainings, but also individual consultations) as well
as on creating opportunities for them to emerge on foreign markets – either directly (trade missions) or thanks to
cooperation with foreign artists (songwriting camps). Thanks to an extensive network of contacts abroad, MExP is
aplatform for Polish creators, artists and professionals to start or develop their career abroad.

Introduction
This Cultural Mobility Funding Guide provides an overview of the funding bodies and programmes that support the
international mobility of music artists (authors, composers, musicians, bands, orchestras) and other music professionals
traveling from and/or to countries in Europe.
On the Move, in partnership with Music Export Poland, commissioned music industry and mobility experts Jess
Partridge and Marie Fol to map grants and support schemes in which music is either the main focus, or is specically
listed as an eligible discipline. We attempt to cover all types of musical expression from ancient to more contemporary
forms - be they considered classical, jazz, pop, “world”, etc.
However, we have not included aspecic category for sound art. Sound art is mentioned under more cross-disciplinary
forms.
Our aim is to transparently consolidate existing information that can help organisations and individuals nd the best
ways to engage with international colleagues and nance their cross-border travel.
This guide lists local, national, and international resources, both public and private. We have only included
opportunities that are regularly occurring, accessible online, invite applications through open calls, and that
cover at least aportion of international travel costs. Our research phase took place from August to December 2022.
How to navigate this guide?
There are various reasons auser of this guide might seek mobility funding, including that:
They have been selected for aproject in aforeign country (collaboration project, artistic residency or songwriting
camp, showcasing at afestival, etc.) but have not been provided with funding for their mobility costs.
They have developed aproject with an international component and wish to invite foreign musicians and cultural
professionals to one or more places/countries for co-production, touring, market development, etc.
They are interested in professional experiences (including training) in aforeign country and are seeking away
to cover their travel costs.
In light of these dierent aims, the entries in this guide present the costs that are covered by each scheme, including
cross-border travel, visas, per diems, remuneration of collaborators, accommodation, production costs, and other
types of support (e.g. translation).
We encourage people interested in specic funding opportunities to research past grantees in order to get asense
of their potential eligibility beyond the listed criteria.
This Guide also tries to highlight schemes that take into account societal concerns – particularly programmes that
make extra funding available for overland travel (where possible), for the needs of disabled artists or caregivers, and/
or for digital or hybrid formats of cross-border collaboration.
And, as with all of On the Move’s funding guides, we hope to provide cultural policy makers and private funders with
abroad overview of existing schemes so that they can modify and update their initiatives within this landscape in
order to sustain and expand equitable access to professional cultural mobility for all.

Geographic focus
This guide collects:
Mobility funding opportunities open to nationals and residents in one of the 46 European countries in focus,
described as Outgoing Mobility OM
Mobility funding opportunities open to nationals from countries other than these 46 European countries,
described as Incoming Mobility IM
The guide covers 46 countries located on the European continent, which are members of the Council of Europe:
Albania, Andorra, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Kosovo,
Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, Netherlands, North Macedonia,
Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, and
the United Kingdom.
There are no funding schemes listed for 8 countries (Andorra, Azerbaijan, Cyprus, Georgia, Latvia, Moldova, North
Macedonia, San Marino) as no resource was found at the time of research. There are however two additional sections
with Europe-wide (inc. regions such as Nordic & Baltic, Mediterranean, Central and Eastern European, and Balkan)
and International funding schemes which cover countries for which there are no specic funding schemes.
Feedback & further information
While we aim to bring together in asingle document all the resources corresponding to our criteria, we are fully
aware of the limits of such an exercise. Please send any corrections or suggestions to [email protected]. This
feedback will help us enrich the next edition of this guide.
On On the Move’s website we collect and publish temporary cultural mobility opportunities, such as calls for projects
and funding opportunities. You can also get this information by subscribing to our free multilingual newsletter! It’s
sent out every month.

Note from the researchers
We would like to make the following clarications ahead of your reading:
The eligibility of artists and musicians covers both individuals as groups of artists. Where necessary, eligibility of
ensembles or orchestras are specically mentioned.
The focus on music genres varies from funding scheme to funding scheme. It is listed in each entry, and it is good
to double check before applying.
Funds are either multidisciplinary (any discipline is eligible) or music specic (only music projects can apply). Note
that it is vastly dierent to apply for a multidisciplinary fund, as you will have to write your application keeping
in mind that your selection jury may not know anything about the music sector.
“Project Funding” can often encompass the other areas eg. you could design or fund an international visit as
your project, resembling a residency; or do signicant research; or invite people from abroad to your events or
in your project activities.
Additionally, we would like to bring the following recommendations in focus:
We highly recommend you check your Export Oce and your Music Information Centres when considering leaving
your country (“Outgoing Mobility”, usually what an Export Oce would guide you through) to go to another place.
Existing Oces & Centres are listed in the “relevant links” at the start of each country listing.
Make sure to check “IM – Incoming Mobility” for countries you wish to go to. Funds do not exist solely to go
abroad, some are specically designed to invite people over. For those, you may need a local partner who will
invite you and/or write the application for you. Details are listed in the guide!
Some ministries and large public agencies have calls to support international mobility which are hard to nd,
mostly because their publication date is not listed. We strongly recommend you check those agencies (such as
the British Council, for instance) for current calls, as well as have a look under “public tenders”.
We recommend you check in your country of origin/residence the support that may exist for international trade,
economy and export (mostly under “Entrepreneurship” or similar departments and agencies depending on the
Ministry of Economy and Trade). Indeed, in many European countries, the music sector is composed of micro,
small and medium businesses (even as one-person companies or sole traders) and those are usually eligible for
nancial support from such public agencies.
We recommend you start browsing this guide through the table of content, which gives an overview of the public,
private, national and regional funding organisations in each country. For each organisation, you can click on the
name of a specic funding scheme to access its detailed presentation in the guide. Once you nd a funding scheme
that matches your plans, make sure to visit the listed website to double check the latest eligibility criteria and note
the application deadline.
Happy reading!
