There are four funding rounds each year:

Culture Ireland also operates the See Here scheme to support Irish Artists and arts organisations to invite international programmers, presenters, curators, promoters or critics to see new Irish work with a view to subsequent international presentation. Applications under this scheme are accepted on an ongoing basis.

Open Call: E-MOTIONAL Bodies & Cities - Motion Fund Strand, a European mobility and artistic exchange dance programme
E-MOTIONAL is realised in Ireland by Dublin Dance Festival and Dance Ireland in association with the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance at University of Limerick
ArtistNe(s)t Residency Programme 2012 Call for proposals
[Romania – Ireland – Latvia – Cyprus – United Kingdom –Turkey]
Established in early summer 2011, the two-year mobility and artistic exchange dance programme E-MOTIONAL Bodies & Cities is currently launching a new strand of activities – the international ArtistNe(s)t Residencies. The programme aims to offer support to the development of new work by young and mid-career choreographers and is addressed to artists based in the 6 participating countries of the project: Romania, Cyprus, Ireland, Latvia, United Kingdom, and Turkey. The residency programme is inspired from and plans to continue and expand the work started by the ArtistNe(s)t artist-in-residence network in Romania set up by Gabriela Tudor and the Swiss Cultural Program in Romania in 2006, a unique international residency programme for contemporary arts in the region.
What we are looking for, how the residency will proceed
The choreographers, either alone or together with a collaborator of their choice (dancer, visual artist, manager, etc.), will be granted a four-week residency to work on an ongoing project, start a new project or collaborate with local artists. Special attention will be given to projects matching the theme of the project and to collaborations and exchanges with local artistic communities. Travel costs, per diem, accommodation and rehearsal space for the entire residency period are provided, together with a fee per project awarded.
The host organisation will facilitate contacts with the local artistic community, informal presentations and meetings, or the organisation of workshops open to local artists. In exchange, the invited artists will give warm-up classes for local dancers, lead dance workshops for professionals or interested audiences, or hold video-lectures on their own artistic work. Each residency will close with an informal presentation held by participating artists.
