BRIDGING AUDIOVISUAL AND CULTURE THROUGH DIGITAL In 2019 and 2020 two pilot calls were launched in order to lay the ground work for a Creative Innovation Lab set to take shape under the new Creative Europe programme which will run from 2021 – 2027. The proposed Lab will create space for experimenting and taking risks, for prototyping solutions which could then be scaled up and for stimulating innovative projects between audiovisual and other cultural sectors. Under the 2019 pilot call, eight projects were chosen within the available budget of €1.75 million. In 2020, a total of €3.2 million awarded to eight further projects. Selected projects feature partners from museums, audiovisual companies, performing arts and tech companies, this included VIBE a project with UK involvement which was awarded €398,605 and had partners in Spain, France and the Netherlands.
