Description
1) Objective
This grant programme supports cross-border teams of professional journalists and/or news outlets to conduct investigations into environmental affairs related to Europe. While news media and newsrooms still predominantly operate nationally, most power structures and societal and environmental problems transcend national boundaries. This grant programme is therefore aimed at cross-border teams of investigative journalists and newsrooms to investigate and document illegal, unreported and unregulated abuse of nature that involves European affairs in and outside Europe.
Next to investigations of environmental issues that transcend borders, this programme can also support and stimulate comparative investigations into local environmental issues and policies between two or more regions or cities. The grants can also offer support to preliminary work in the development of new investigative projects. The grant can cover working time and expenses such as logistics, travel, insurance, access to legal support, translations, access to technology and data sets, etc.
2) Eligibility
Cross-border teams of at least two professional journalists and/or news outlets can submit a proposal for a journalistic investigation about an issue that concerns the environment and relates to Europe.
3) Location
Actions must take place in Europe.
4) Budget
The total available amount per call to be distributed among all supported investigations will be around €400,000.
5) Application
The next application deadline will be Thursday 25 April 2024 at 1pm CET (Brussels time). And the last two deadlines in 2024 will be on Thursday 25 July 2024 at 1pm CET (Brussels time) and on Thursday 24 October 2024 at 1pm CET (Brussels time).
