The focus is on fostering cultural collaboration and professional development among participants. This initiative is crucial for promoting cultural diversity and innovation within Europe. It provides a platform for artists and cultural professionals to collaborate, learn from each other, and expand their creative horizons while supporting the host entities in delivering meaningful cultural projects. What is the deadline to apply for the residency hosts call? The application deadline is 18 January 2027 at 23:59 CET. Who can apply for this opportunity? Legal entities based in Creative Europe countries and engaged in eligible cultural sectors can apply. What financial support is available for hosts and residents? Hosts receive €50 per day per resident, with additional accessibility support. Residents receive a daily allowance of €30, travel allowances, and top-up options for specific circumstances. When will the residency projects start? The earliest start date for residency projects is 12 April 2027. How are applications evaluated? Two independent evaluators assess applications. Results will be communicated via the Goethe-Application Portal by 9 March 2027.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this financial & professional services opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
