Introduction to public funding in Germany

The workshop provides an introduction to project funding in the field of contemporary music. We explain the impact of German federalism on funding structures, how to build a project with multiple funding sources, the different types of funding available, and who decides on projects and on what basis. Additionally, we offer a brief overview of the funding landscape nationwide, with a focus on Berlin, Cologne, and Munich. There will also be time for questions afterward.
