From Idea to Funded Project: How Creative Crowd Works with EU Funding

Creative Crowd, a games-for-impact / serious games consultancy in Skellefteå, Sweden, helps organisations design and apply for EU-funded innovation projects, from the first idea to funded implementation. The company has taken part in EU projects funded by Interreg Baltic Sea Region, Interreg Northern Periphery and Arctic (NPA) and Interreg Aurora.

What Creative Crowd offers

EU funding programmes can support innovation, regional development and cross-border cooperation, but the application process is demanding. Creative Crowd supports organisations in:

  • Shaping a project idea so it fits a funding programme

  • Finding and connecting with partners

  • Designing the project's activities and structure

  • Writing and submitting the application

  • Carrying out the project once it is funded
