Explore the Cluster Fund Projects in 2025 catalogue here.

The Cluster Fund is the main source of funding for EUNIC's global network of 143 clusters. Since 2012, it has supported over 200 projects and has become a vital source of seed funding that strengthens collaboration among EUNIC members, kickstarts new initiatives, and builds lasting local partnerships rooted in the principles of cultural relations.

This new edition presents the 21 projects implemented in 2025, showcasing the breadth and diversity of initiatives developed across the network. Reflecting the variety of EUNIC members and partners involved, the projects explore a wide range of themes, formats, and collaborative approaches, engaging with pressing cultural, social, and global issues.

The catalogue includes an interactive map that allows users to explore projects from clusters across the globe. For each Cluster Fund project, the catalogue features a short overview with photos, a quote from partners, a list of EUNIC members and key partners involved, and a budget breakdown showing both Cluster Fund support and local co-financing.

This new digital publication is there to highlight the value of the fund and to inspire EUNIC members and clusters with examples of collaborative cultural relations projects that respond to local needs.
