What this call funds
This call funds the creation of a single European online platform that helps cultural and creative businesses (like film, design, music, heritage) use AI in an ethical and fair way. The platform will offer shared tools, training, data, and expert networks so smaller creative companies can access AI without depending on big tech, while respecting copyright and EU values. Only one project will be funded, with the aim of it becoming a permanent, self-sustaining hub by the end of the project.
