Creative Europe Annual Work Programme 2025
Creative Europe in 2025: focus on green and digital transitions, on strengthening social and economic resilience
With a budget of almost €340 million, in 2025 Creative Europe will continue supporting the creative and cultural sectors, including audiovisual. It will build on the achievements of the past four years and integrate further green, digital and social inclusion aspects.
Priorities in 2025
Support the digital transition
Through the existing successful support actions, Creative Europe seeks to harness data and digital tools, including artificial intelligence, in the production and distribution of cultural and audiovisual content.
Sustainability
In line with the EU Green Deal, the Commission will continue to support measures that can be effectively and efficiently introduced in Creative Europe actions to support a sustainable approach to projects’ design and implementation, while respecting the core aims of the programme.
Inclusion and gender equality
The topics of inclusion and gender equality remain at the heart of the Creative Europe Programme in 2025: funded projects must address these issues in their design and implementation phases.
International relations
Creative Europe will continue to reinforce the EU’s international relations. This includes supporting Ukraine following Russia’s war of aggression against the country. The programme will continue supporting Ukrainian artists and cultural operators and displaced Ukrainian population in accessing culture. As of 2025 Ukraine will fully participate in the MEDIA Strand.
