100+ organisations call for a more ambitious budget for culture in AgoraEU

CAE joins a coalition of 100+ cultural organisations, networks, and institutions from across Europe in calling on EU policymakers to ensure a stronger budget for the Culture strand in AgoraEU.

A Sector Contribution to the Work Plan for Culture 2027–2030

Ahead of the next EU Work Plan for Culture, Culture Action Europe has developed a set of recommendations for the Council of the EU, shaped by discussions from the BEYOND Satellites 2026.

The Council’s MFF budget proposal: bad news for AgoraEU

The Council has unveiled its proposed budget allocations for the next long-term EU budget and it’s bad news: a 33% reduction in budget for AgoraEU compared to the Parliament’s position.

Reading between the strands: AgoraEU after Parliament and Council

Culture Action Europe calls for an AgoraEU that covers all cultural and creative sectors fairly, protects the cross-sectoral nature of European cultural cooperation, and provides more ambitious funding for culture as a whole.

EU leaders sign ambitious Joint Declaration on Culture

EU institutions have signed the Joint Declaration on culture, agreeing a long-term strategic vision for culture at the heart of Europe.

Culture is being erased from EU research and innovation funding. How do we save it?

A coalition of cultural networks started the ‘Name, Place, Fund’ campaign to secure the presence of culture for research, innovation and competitiveness in the 2028-2034 budget.
