On the Move — an international platform for cultural mobility and travel grants

When travel becomes part of your professional journey
International mobility in culture is rarely accidental. As a rule, there is an idea, project or long-term plan behind it. That is why this platform helps you understand where you can go, why and with what resources. It provides a clear picture of opportunities for working outside your country.

A systematic overview instead of a chaotic search
The resource functions as a European network supporting cultural mobility. It brings together grants for travel, international residencies, and professional programmes. This allows users to see not just individual announcements, but a connected landscape of opportunities. This is especially important when building an international trajectory rather than a one-off trip.

Funding for travel and participation
The catalogue is updated daily. It contains programmes that support participation in residencies, festivals, conferences, educational and research initiatives. A significant portion of these opportunities cover transportation and related expenses. Therefore, the platform is particularly useful for those who are planning to work abroad and are looking for real financial support.

Easy navigation and clear terms
The search is organised by region, programme type, deadline and art form. This makes it easy to narrow down your selection and avoid wasting time. Each publication contains clear information about funding, requirements, geography and conditions of participation. This makes it easier to compare programmes and prepare your application.

Geography and open access
Most programmes are focused on Europe and the UK. However, initiatives from Asia, Africa and Latin America are regularly appearing. Importantly, all materials are available without registration. This makes the platform a convenient entry point, especially if you are just starting to explore the topic of cultural mobility.

More than just a database of opportunities
In addition to the catalogue, the platform publishes analytics, guides and research. It addresses topics such as sustainable travel, the ethics of international cooperation and cultural policy. As a result, the resource functions not only as a grant search engine, but also as a professional environment for reflection and growth.

Who will find the platform particularly useful
On the Move will be useful for those who are planning international cultural exchanges, seeking funding for travel, or working on transnational projects. It helps you not just to travel, but to integrate mobility into your professional strategy. The platform interface is in English.
