Support for Culture and Digital Creation
The aid for digital culture and creation targets innovative cultural digital works or content. The costs, beneficiaries and amount depend on the conditions described on this page and the funder’s rules. Point to watch: the stage of the project — development or production — and the separate caps. Check the session dates and the Grand Est Region’s rules.
Do you have a project for an innovative cultural digital work or content? This page sets out the parameters of the aid for digital culture and creation based on the catalogue information: it supports digital works or content enabling new forms of creation, new interactions with audiences and new uses, as well as the development of innovative narrative digital tools. Annual application windows: 15 January to 15 February and 1 May to 1 June. Before ordering, signing a quote or starting works, check the official rules, the status of the scheme and the criteria applicable to your company. The presence of an aid in the catalogue does not guarantee that it is open or that a grant will be awarded.
