What is C-Accelerate+?

We help students, staff and alumni of European film, theatre, music and art schools take their projects further, with incubators, workshops and mentors who work in the industry.

Who it’s for
Students, staff and alumni of our partner schools in seven countries. You’re working on a film, a series, a game, an app or a performance and want to take it further than a school project.
What you get
Mentors from the industry who work on your own project with you: pitching, financing, IP, marketing and distribution. Taking part is free, and for incubators we cover travel and accommodation for one team member.
Who’s behind it
Eight partners from the FilmEU alliance, from Tallinn to Lisbon, funded by the EIT Higher Education Initiative. It picks up where the first C-Accelerate project (2022–2024) left off.
What we’ve done
Incubators, workshops, problemathons and conference days, each time in a different partner city. Every past event is further down this page, under “Events we’ve organised”.
