Inter- and Multidisciplinary Projects
Terminology
Pro Helvetia is increasingly confronted with applications touching on several discipline areas. Where only two are involved, applications are reviewed jointly by the specialist sectors themselves. Where it is a question of three or more, applications are put before the coordinating group at Pro Helvetia headquarters (for sums of Fr. 50,000 or less) or the Board of Trustees (for sums over Fr. 50,000). All discipline areas are represented in the coordinating group.

The financial remit of the various bodies of the Arts Council are described in Art. 19 of the Pro Helvetia grant regulations (“Verordnung über Beiträge der Stiftung Pro Helvetia”). |
Interdisciplinary
A project is interdisciplinary if it unites several artistic disciplines and, in linking them, creates something qualitatively new.
Multidisciplinary
A project is considered multidisciplinary if it brings together artistic presentations from various disciplines relating to a single subject or approached from the same angle. The newness results, not from the artistic linkage of different disciplines but from the fact that the thematic core is reflected in the mirror of different disciplines or that each discipline makes a statement about the overarching subject.
Activities
Pro Helvetia can promote events both at home and abroad under the heading of “Inter- and Multidisciplinary Projects”.
Criteria
If the requirements for consideration as inter- or multidisciplinary are fulfilled, the general criteria apply.
In the case of multidisciplinary projects, support is limited to aspects particularly in keeping with the aims of Pro Helvetia.
Restrictions
The general exclusionary criteria apply.
Moreover, grants cannot be awarded for
- festivals that, in a restricted timeframe, present contributions from various disciplines without a linking theme.
