European funding seems to be difficult to access. Yet many EU programs can support your cultural and creative initiatives. However, getting involved in these projects requires an investment in terms of energy and time – with no guarantees.

LABA helps you in many ways.

Our partnerships

LABA works with many public and private partners: local authorities (cities, regions, states, metropolises), universities, companies, associations, unions, networks. They all carry a cultural, tourist or sports project.

However, all these organizations have similar needs when it comes to raising European funds. They find in our cluster of skills, complementary and necessary assets for the constitution of a solid consortium and the piloting of a European project.

Thus, we determine and identify together:

– Eligibility of the project

– Targeting European priorities (e.g. equality, public safety, digital inclusion, entrepreneurship, etc.)

– Relevant calls for projects

– The terms of our collaboration.
