Natural persons aged at least 18, Romanian or foreign, who are active in the cultural sector and meet the eligibility conditions set out in the Applicant’s Guide may apply.
For outbound mobility, the applicant must be professionally active in Timișoara. For inbound mobility, the host organization accepting the mobility must be active in Timișoara.
Yes. The fact that the natural person is an employee, member, associate or owner of an organization or company that receives non-reimbursable funding from the Center for Projects does not, in itself, prevent that person from submitting an application in their own name under the Mobilities programme.
Under this programme, the applicant is the natural person, and the eligibility and evaluation of the application are assessed in relation to that person.
All other eligibility conditions and the rules regarding the cumulation of funding and the avoidance of double funding for the same expenses still apply.
No. Under the Mobilities programme, each applicant may submit only one application. If an applicant has been rejected or has obtained less than 70 points in the content evaluation, they may not submit a new application, even if it concerns a different mobility.
Yes. Applications are submitted individually. The application may mention and justify participation as part of a group or in the same project.
Applications are evaluated individually, so some applications may be approved while others may not, depending on the score obtained and the decision of the evaluation and selection committee.
The programme may fund, among others:
The mobility must have a clear professional purpose and timeframe and must be supported by the agreement/confirmation of the organizer or host organization.
Yes. A nominal email confirmation of registration or participation, whether paid or free of charge, in an event such as a conference, training programme, trade fair, etc. is sufficient to be considered an agreement confirming participation.
Yes. Participation in several events is possible if they are part of a single mobility project and the applicant can justify the connection between the activities. The application may mention and justify participation in the same project or as part of the same group.
If the events take place in different locations, the applicant must provide the relevant agreements/confirmations from the host organizations or organizers.
The mobility period must be clear and consistent across all documents related to the application: the funding application, budget, agreement/confirmation from the host organization or organizer and, subsequently, the transport documents.
It is important to also check that the overall mobility period is consistent with the number of days for which meal/per diem expenses are requested and the number of nights for which accommodation is requested.
For example, a 10-day period does not automatically mean 10 nights of accommodation. If accommodation and/or meals/per diem are not required for the entire mobility period, the budget must indicate the actual number of days/nights for which these expenses are requested, and the difference must be justified in relation to the actual mobility schedule.
Although accommodation and meal/per diem expenses are provided as lump sums, the exact period for which they are granted must be reflected in the transport documents, taking into account the date and time of departure and the date and time of return.
The documents accompanying the application must contain consistent information and allow for a clear verification of the proposed mobility.
If there are inconsistencies between the documents, the funding authority may request clarifications and/or additional information.
The applicant is required to submit the requested clarifications within 3 working days of receiving the request. This rule applies both at the stage of checking the conditions for participation and at the evaluation and selection stage.
Please note: carefully check all dates before submitting the application.
Natural person applicants who are not tax residents in Romania must provide a document similar to the Romanian tax attestation certificate, issued in accordance with the legislation of their country of tax residence, certifying their tax payment status.
If the document is not issued in Romanian or English, it must be submitted together with a translation in accordance with the requirements of the funding authority.
Please note: check in advance the procedure for obtaining the relevant tax document in your country of tax residence.
The programme operates on a continuous basis, starting on 3 July 2026, until 27 October 2026, or until the budget is exhausted, if this happens earlier.
Please note: applications must be submitted at least one month and no more than 3 months before the start of the mobility (e.g. the date of the first trip).
The applicant must submit the clarifications and/or additional information requested by the funding authority within 3 working days of receiving the request.
The deadline applies both at the stage of checking the conditions for participation and at the evaluation and selection stage.
Please note: it is important to regularly check the email address used in the application throughout the verification and evaluation process.
The budget must be completed in full, in all required fields, and must be consistent with the information provided in the funding application and the documents related to the mobility.
Before submitting the application, check at least the following:
All calculations must be checked before submitting the application.
For accommodation and meals/per diem, the actual number of days/nights for which these expenses are requested must be indicated. If they do not cover the entire mobility period, the difference must be explained and justified in relation to the actual implementation of the mobility.
The maximum amount of non-reimbursable funding is:
Accommodation and meals/per diem
For mobilities taking place in Romania:
Example for 3 days and 2 nights:
For international mobility, accommodation and per diem are calculated according to the ceilings established for the destination country.
These expenses are provided as lump sums and do not require invoices or receipts for accommodation and meals/per diem.
Transport
Transport expenses are estimated based on the anticipated actual costs and may include, as applicable, plane, train, coach/bus tickets and travel insurance.
Example:
Supporting documents are mandatory for reimbursement.
Travel by car
For travel using a personal, rented or borrowed car, a fuel consumption of 7.5 litres/100 km is used.
Example for 600 km and an estimated price of 9 RON/litre:
At reimbursement, the supporting documents required under the Guide must be provided, including fuel documents, the travel log/travel order and proof of the right to use the vehicle.
The minimum co-financing is 1% of the total mobility budget, i.e. the requested non-reimbursable funding plus co-financing.
Example for a total budget of 10,000 RON:
Co-financing cannot come from other funding contracted with the Center for Projects.
Indirect expenses may include, for example, telephone costs, office supplies, printing services, additional baggage fees or ticket change fees and other eligible indirect expenses.
These are provided as lump sums, up to a maximum of 5% of the requested non-reimbursable funding.
Example: for 10,000 RON in non-reimbursable funding:
10,000 × 5% = 500 RON.
Supporting documents are not required for these expenses at the reimbursement stage.
For expenses expressed in euros, the InforEuro exchange rate for the month in which the application is submitted is used.
Example: 5 nights × 150 EUR/night = 750 EUR. At an InforEuro exchange rate of 5.2418 RON/EUR:
750 × 5.2418 = 3,931.35 RON.
The exchange rate applicable in the month in which the application is submitted remains unchanged throughout the project, in accordance with the programme rules.
No. Expenses incurred before the signing of the funding agreement are ineligible and cannot be reimbursed.
Within a maximum of 14 calendar days from the completion of the mobility, but no later than 27 November 2026, the beneficiary must submit:
The report must be submitted in accordance with the Reporting and Settlement of Expenses Guide.
