TelepART-Art funding programme helps emerging performing artists showcase their work internationally. The fast-access funding supports the mobility, international networking and the art-community between Finland and Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The TelepART-Art programme is intended especially for emerging talents within theatre, performance, circus, dance and music. Performing artists living and working in Finland and travelling to German-speaking Europe for performances, and vice versa, are free to apply for funding.
The funding programme enables artists to react quickly to work opportunities. The TelepART funding can be used for travel, accommodation and transportation expenses. Grants will only be considered for projects where the organiser, performer and their representatives are committed to the production. Applicants must be able to demonstrate high artistic value, the production must be a collaboration between at least two of the countries, where the Finnland-Institut is active, and the performer(s) must receive a decent compensation for their work. The maximum amount that can be applied for is 1000€ and the grant can cover at most 50% of all costs. The applicant can be the artist, a representative of the artist or the event organiser. Please note, that we can accept applications from the same person only every other year.
The Finnland-Institut makes the grant decisions with the support of the expert performing arts organisations Circus & Dance Info Finland and the Finnish Theatre Information Centre (TINFO). TelepART-Art is open for applications for the time being, and we aim to process the applications within two weeks.
TelepART-Science is intended for early and mid-career researchers for business trips from Finland to German speaking areas, and vice versa. The grant covers travel and accommodation expenses, for instance to seminars or conferences, where the applicant has an active participatory role as a speaker, member of a jury or committee or similar. The grant can be applied by researchers from any academic disciplines, working at universities or research institutes in Finland, Germany, Austria or Switzerland. Please note, that we can accept applications from the same person only every other year.
Researchers will be evaluated by academic merit, the significance of the funding for the applicant’s professional and academic activities and the impact of the project on the quality and quantity of academic exchange between Finland and the specified country. The maximum amount that can be applied for is 1000€ and the grant can cover at most 50% of all costs. TelepART-Science applications will be evaluated and grants decisions made by the Finnland-Institut.
