Artistic & Design Research for Immersive Experiences (ADRIE) 2026
About the Call
As part of CIIIC (Creative Industries Immersive Impact Coalition), the Creative Industries Fund NL is launching a second round for the subsidy scheme Artistic & Design Research for Immersive Experiences (ADRIE), following a first round that started in May 2025.
This scheme is aimed at newly forming consortia of creators, producers, institutions, and researchers. The consortia focus on artistic and design research in the development and application of immersive experiences. With this, the consortia will contribute to a strong, innovative, and independent field of immersive experiences.
For whom?
