In 2007, the Eurimages Fund became a patron of the European Film Academy and created an award for co-production – the Co-Production Award - Prix Eurimages – aimed at rewarding a distinguished producer from a Eurimages member-State active in co-production. The main objective of this award is to acknowledge the decisive position which co-production occupies within the film industry.

For 2020, the Eurimages Board of Management decided to grant an amount of €70,000 to the European Film Academy for the organisation of the prize's awarding.
