A minimum of three independent legal entities from three different EU Member States or Horizon Europe Associated Countries is required (for most calls). African institutions — including UNIMA — are explicitly eligible and encouraged as consortium partners to receive EU funding directly. Coordination must be led by an EU/Associated Country organisation. Cultural policy researchers, arts organisations, creative industry practitioners, and social scientists are eligible.

Malawi has a rich cultural heritage — Gule Wamkulu (UNESCO intangible heritage), traditional arts, music, and oral literature — that provides compelling research and collaboration content. UNIMA's Humanities faculty, including researchers in African literature, arts, and cultural studies, can contribute uniquely African perspectives to EU-led creative alliance consortia.

This is a highly strategic opportunity for UNIMA to position itself in the EU–Africa AI cooperation agenda. Research on AI bias in African language and cultural contexts, AI for healthcare in low-resource settings (leveraging UNIMA's health research expertise), or AI governance in developing country contexts would be strong angles. UNIMA should begin identifying EU AI research partners now.
