The Nordic Culture Fund’s Globus FORWARD programme supports artistic and cultural collaborations that operate in wide transnational settings and that are ready for further development.
Globus FORWARD aims at strengthening the long-term capacities of existing collaborations that have already progressed from their initial phases and express an articulated need and motivation/readiness to develop their way of working in a long-term perspective.
Applicants can be a network, artistic collective, platform or other collaborative constellation whose core operations take place in wider transnational settings, connecting practitioners from the Nordics and other parts of the world.
The grant can cover targeted/specific activities within the chosen areas (e.g. consultations, material costs, expert sessions, etc.). The activities can also be completely or partly integrated into the grantee’s own general operations and artistic practice/method, provided it is clearly demonstrated how this contributes to the development of the collaboration/organisations within the selected core areas.
There is no requirement for co-financing of the Globus FORWARD grant. However, in general the grant period should l aim for stronger economic independence and sustainability after the grant period. The maximum grant amount is DKK 500,000 and the maximum grant period is 2 years (finalised by the end of 2026). The Fund can grant up to 5-8 initiatives in 2024.
The pre-application will be open from 20 June until 1 August, with these results available by 10 August.
