On March 11–12, 2026, the Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Arts, in collaboration with the Creative Europe Desk Ukraine, hosted an informational and educational meeting dedicated to the opportunities provided by the EU “Creative Europe” programme.

Over the course of two days, participants were introduced to the current programme calls, the principles of international cooperation, and took part in a practical training on grant application writing and project management. The event served as a platform for professional exchange, discussion of new ideas, and development of international partnerships within the cultural and creative industries.

The event brought together over 80 researchers and institutional representatives in person, with approximately 30 additional participants joining the meeting online.
