Project term of bink (Bavaria's Initiative for Sustainable Culture) ends - funding navigator for climate protection projects in cultural institutions from 2026

The project term of bink - Bavaria's Initiative for Sustainable Culture ends on December 31, 2025. As planned, numerous developments have been initiated since the start in September 2024: These include the establishment of an energy efficiency network, which will continue until the end of 2027, and the implementation of a series of seminars. Networking between cultural institutions and addressing key topics such as the use of materials, heritage conservation and mobility have also been implemented as part of bink.

In addition, bink was able to sensitize a large number of actors in Bavarian cultural institutions to sustainable action through consultations and events. Nine examples of good practice also show what measures cultural institutions are already implementing in terms of sustainability.

State and non-state cultural institutions in Bavaria will also receive support beyond 2025: A funding navigator for climate protection projects in cultural institutions will be available from 2026. With this new service, the Creative Industries Innovation Network of Bayern Innovativ GmbH systematically supports cultural institutions in obtaining federal funding for the implementation of climate protection measures. To this end, needs and projects are identified - for example through queries or targeted approaches - and suitable funding programs are identified. The cultural institutions are supported from the selection of suitable funding programs, through the application process to the receipt of the funding decision.

We regularly provide information about current offers from the Innovation Network Creative Industries and other support offers in our newsletter. Interested cultural institutions can register for this.
