The Slate Funding Support Scheme

Established European production companies with an international track record can apply for financial support from the MEDIA 2007 programme for strategic plans for the development of a slate of projects.  A Slate Funding application must contain a slate of at least 3 and a maximum of 6 projects. Each project can receive an amount of support between €10,000 and €60,000. The total amount of support that can be allocated under Slate Funding is between €70,000 and €190,000.

Projects contained within the slate must belong to one of the following categories.

• Drama projects (whether a one-off or a series) of no less than 50 minutes.
• Creative documentaries of no less than 25 minutes (duration per episode in the case of a series)
• Animation projects (whether a one-off or a series) of no less than 24 minutes
