'Cross-border cooperation for museums' - NEMO toolkit

NEMO has produced a toolkit to help museums and museum associations across Europe to better access EU funding and increase their international activities. This toolkit helps museums, museum associations and other cultural organisations across Europe to better access EU funding and increase their international activities.

The toolkit gives an overview of the benefits of international cooperation and the existing funding opportunities. With the toolkit, we want to increase the number of museums participating in EU funding programmes.

As a European network, NEMO’s efforts are directed to facilitate an understanding of the European Union, its functioning and funding mechanisms, ultimately to encourage and enable museums to operate across borders, learn from each other and exchange expertise.

We want to share our extensive experience from cross-border cooperation to help other organisations get started. One of the central roles of NEMO, is to provide our members and the museum community at large with accessible information about funding and promote the many benefits of cooperation.

The first calls of new EU funding programmes for 2021-2027 will soon be published and in the meantime, we recommend that you read the toolkit to get inspired. The toolkit gives an excellent introduction to each step of the funding application process, which still will be relevant in the new period.
