EU scheme offers artists grants to explore misinformation

UK artists can apply for up to €40,000 for projects exploring misnformation, data, technology and social media.

The EU-funded MediaFutures scheme aims to make awards of that size to collaborative work, and to give up to €30,000 for pure arts projects. Start-ups can apply for up to €65,000 to create new products, or €80,000 to work with artists.

Applicants should demonstrate how their work would "counteract the negative impact of misinformation and disinformation within society". 

Mentorship, legal support, networking opportunities and tech help are available to the successful candidates. 

Applications open on Thursday (November 25).
