Co-funded by the European Union’s Creative Europe programme, the European Media Art Platform continues its residency programme for artists, artist duos, collectives, and other artistic collaborations working across digital, media, robotic, and bio art.
Artists, artist duos, collectives, and other artistic collaborations can apply for a two-month production residency at one of 15 host organisations across Europe. The call covers digital, media, robotic, and bio art in the broadest sense — from immersive installation to bio-technological research, with no single practice prioritised over another.
Collaboration is central to the 2027 call: every applicant works together with a collaborating partner. That partner can already be on board, or found later — including through the host institution.
Fifteen institutions are hosting in 2027:
- Ars Electronica, Linz, Austria
- Chroniques, Marseille, France
- CIKE - Creative Industry Košice, Košice, Slovakia
- gnration, Braga, Portugal
- iMAL, Brussels, Belgium
- IMPAKT [Centre for Media Culture], Utrecht, The Netherlands
- Kersnikova Institute (Kapelica Gallery), Ljubljana, Slovenia
- KONTEJNER | Bureau of Contemporary Art Praxis, Zagreb, Croatia

- MEET Digital Culture Center, Milan, Italy
- NeMe, Limassol, Cyprus
- Onassis Stegi, Athens, Greece
- RIXC Centre for New Media Culture, Riga, Latvia
- Werkleitz Centre for Media Art, Halle (Saale), Germany
- WRO Art Center, Wrocław, Poland
Applicants must be residents or taxpayers of an EU member state, or of an eligible non-EU country under Creative Europe. Undergraduate and Master’s students are not eligible. PhD candidates and emerging artists of any age or academic background are welcome to apply.
