Think of these sessions as a rapid-fire tour of investigative journalism across Europe. IJ4EU grantees take the stage, each with just five minutes to share what they’re working on: an ongoing investigation, a cross-border challenge they’ve run into, or a solution they’ve found worth passing on. Whatever the focus, each speaker leaves us with one big takeaway: a lesson learned, a hurdle cleared, or a finding worth knowing about.
After we’ve heard their stories, we’ll open the floor for questions and reflections. Prepare your pen and paper because things will move fast and you’ll probably want to capture the ideas and inspiration as they fly by.
