An investigation is published. Then what? Sometimes: nothing. But sometimes a story forces a resignation, reopens a case, changes a law — or puts its author in the crosshairs. In this opening session, current and former IJ4EU grantees tell us what followed some of their biggest investigations. They’ll walk us through what it took to get the story out, and what happened once it was loose in the world — the reckonings, the fallout, the doors that opened and closed. A reminder of why we do this work, told by the people who’ve lived it.
