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 will again launch two application rounds for the subsidy scheme Artistic & Design Research for Immersive Experiences (ADRIE) in 2026, following the first application rounds in 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.
