International Clinic: Navigating the Funding Landscape

For this International Clinic, Margarita Osipian, independent curator, researcher and cultural organiser, will lead an interactive session on the funding landscape of the creative sector in the Netherlands, including how to write grant applications.

During the clinic, Osipian will share strategies for writing applications for grants and funding and give practical advice on the process, illustrated with successful examples from the field.

After the clinic, there will be break-out sessions on international mobility and funding opportunities, aimed at recently graduated designers. These sessions will be led by DutchCulture and Creative Industries Fund NL. The event will end with a networking reception.
