Programme Concerns
A maximum level of funding available from the total eligible expenditure of the programme for infrastructure (hard measures) shall be identified in the concept note.
Approximately 20% of the total eligible expenditure of the programme shall be set aside for cultural cooperation and exchange between the Donor States and Portugal.
The Arts Council of Norway (ACN) shall be actively involved in the preparation of the programme.
The National Focal Point and the Programme Operator shall at the latest by the submission of the concept note, submit a plan to ensure adequate programme management capacity of the Programme Operator.
The programme shall focus on the role that arts, culture and cultural heritage play in local and regional development with emphasis on employment, social inclusion and cohesion, on cultural entrepreneurship, on cultural heritage management, preservation and conservation and on audience development and cultural activities in education. Coastal cultural heritage shall be taken into account.
Bilateral Ambitions
€100,000 shall be allocated to the programme from the fund for bilateral relations. This does not prevent the Joint Committee for Bilateral Funds from allocating additional funds to the programme.
