Asia-Europe Foundation Mobility Grant: Who Qualifies and What You Get

This grant provides financial support to artists who need to travel between Asia and Europe to work on collaborative creative projects.

👤Who it's for

This scheme is specifically designed for artists who are traveling between Asia and Europe. It is intended for those who are engaging in collaborative projects that require physical presence in a different region. This is meant to support the movement of creators who are working across these two specific continents to foster international artistic exchange.

🎁What you get

If your application is successful, you will receive subsidies intended to help cover the essential costs of your journey. These funds are specifically aimed at providing travel and accommodation subsidies. This financial assistance is designed to help artists manage the logistical expenses of an artistic exchange, allowing them to focus more on their creative work and less on the high costs of international movement.

💰What it costs you

Applying for this grant is not free in terms of the effort and documentation required. You will need to prepare a highly detailed project budget that outlines how the funds will be used. Additionally, you must secure an official invitation letter from a host organization to prove that your travel is for a legitimate, organized purpose.

⚠️The catch to know

The most important thing to remember is that this is not a general travel grant for independent exploration. The funding must be tied to a specific, defined collaborative event or a formal residency. You must have a clear, structured project or event to justify the request for mobility support.

📝How to apply

1. Secure a formal invitation letter from a host organization in your destination region.
2. Create a detailed and accurate budget for your project activities.
3. Ensure your project is tied to a specific event or residency.
4. Visit the official portal to complete your submission.
