Projects of Cultural Cooperation
Cluster Fund
Cluster Fund is the internal financial toll which significantly motivates to and helps to implement joint cultural projects and activities within the EUNIC clusters both inside and outside of the European Union. As part of the Cluster Fund, which is made of voluntary contributions from EUNIC Global members, a call is launched annually. Every year dozens of cultural projects are co-financed. Thanks to the EUNIC Cluster Fund Call 2023 following projects have been supported in 2024:
- See it, Say it, Film it! – Exploring Climate Change through Cinema v Sofii
- Belgrade Urban Oases - Sustainable Transformation of Neglected Spaces v Bělehradu

Abovementioned projects have been implemented with a participation of the Czech Centres branches or Embassies of the Czech Republic.
