numbers
The budget available within Fresh Perspectives is € 300,000, divided over two phases. Within the first phase, there is a budget of € 100,000 that will support up to 10 research-and-development proposals. This brings the percentage of applications receiving grants to 50%.
phasing
The call has two phases. The selected proposals will receive a contribution of € 10,000 now for the first phase. This phase is characterized by formalizing the collaboration(s), developing a research question and conducting experiments in the run-up to phase two. The parties also work together on the positioning of the chosen issue. The recommendations of the committee must be incorporated into this plan. For the second phase, € 40,000 is available per project with a total available budget of € 200,000. In this phase, the research proposals are implemented. For example, the project could consist of an activation, programming, publication, intervention, service or product. This phase is also intended for disseminating the project and strengthening its impact within the creative industry. Being awarded a phase 1 grant is not a guarantee that a grant will be awarded for phase 2.
