CALL: Northern European Mobility Fund 18.09.26

Northern European Mobility Fund (NEMO) – programme for mobility and artistic exchange (between Nov ’26 – Nov ’27) for individual artists and arts practitioners in the early stages of their careers.

Fund Guidance and timings can be found on the link above - fund closes for applications on 18 September 2026.

The Aims of NEMO 

The programme builds on a reciprocal wish to broaden the creative possibilities for practitioners across the Northern European cultural scene. It does so by providing financial support for artists towards practical collaborative initiatives that will benefit both participating artists and the broader arts communities in partnering countries.

The shared priorities of this programme are to: 

• Encourage and support emerging artists and arts practitioners to work confidently with international partners.

• Foster international collaboration.

• Develop and strengthen new artistic networks across the NorthernEuropean region.

• Commit to accessibility and inclusion for diverse communities and voices across the region.

This is the second iteration of the Northern European Mobility Opportunity (NEMO) programme, supported by the Nordic Culture Fund and the arts funding agencies of Ireland, England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

To be eligible to apply, you must be an individual artist or arts practitioner who is resident in:

• One of the four nations of the UK

• The Republic of Ireland

• One of the Nordic countries (Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and the Åland Islands)

If you were awarded funding in the 2025 funding round, you will not be eligible to apply in this round.
