The Network of European Museum Organisations (NEMO) has recently issued a call for a research proposals in order to identify EU funding for projects focused on, or linked to, museums in the Member States of Europe in the period 2014-2017. The research should be finalised by late August 2019. The research focuses on trans-national funds only and not the European Structural & Investment Funds (ESIF). Quantitative and qualitative data should be gathered via the online databases operated by the EC (run by EACEA) or one of its agencies. The research will shed light on the:

• Total amount of projects that include museums either as full or as associated partners, receiving EU funding at EU level
• Total budget for projects including museums in each of the programmes at EU level
• Full list of museums benefitting from the EU funding and project descriptions

As per the results, the study should include:

• an executive summary of the investigation;
• a general introduction to the investigated programmes, sub-programmes and strands relevant to museums;
• tables of amounts allocated according to the main research questions specified above;
• a list of projects and project descriptions that included museums (taken from the Compendia of funded projects for the different programmes); and
• a list of sources that were taken into account for the study.

Further information and applications

Proposals, together with a fee estimate, should be submitted by e-mail to NEMO no later than 20 June 2019.
