About the Call "Creative Innovation Lab":
In the framework of the Creative Europe cross-sectoral call “Innovation Lab” (deadline 2026, 23rd of April), the European Commission invites players from different cultural and creative sectors and different European countries to design and test innovative digital solutions with a potential positive long-term impact on multiple cultural and creative sectors. The Lab shall facilitate the creation of innovative solutions (e.g. tools, models and methodologies) that can apply to the audiovisual sector (compulsory) and at least one of the following cultural/creative sectors: music, books or museums.
Solutions should be easily replicable and have a potential for market penetration.
Definition of the audiovisual sector:
The audiovisual sector covers all activities and companies related to the development, production, distribution, promotion and circulation of the following content:
− Feature films, animations and creative documentaries intended primarily for cinematic release;
− Fiction audiovisual works (one-off or series), animation (one-off or series) and creative documentaries (one-off or series) intended primarily for the purposes of television or digital platform exploitation;
− Interactive, non-linear fiction, animation or creative documentary projects (e.g. narrative virtual reality projects);
Content development and/or production costs can only be supported if they are clearly linked to the development of innovative tools or models proposed by the project. They must be proportionate and limited.
