The IJ4EU fund has unveiled the agenda for its annual UNCOVERED Conference, which returns to Athens on September 25, hosted by the iMEdD International Journalism Forum.
UNCOVERED brings together IJ4EU grantees from across Europe with experts in cross-border journalism for a day of candid discussions, lessons learnt from the field and opportunities to spark new cross-border collaborations.
This year’s programme features “Cross-Border Snapshots” showcasing major lessons from recent investigations, interactive debates on the realities of collaboration and newsroom dynamics, and honest conversations about burnout, trauma and the pressures of investigative reporting.
Attendees can also expect networking, lightning talks and a few surprises along the way.
The following day, on September 26, UNCOVERED and the iMEdD Forum will jointly host the IJ4EU Impact Awards, recognising outstanding cross-border investigations with €15,000 in prize money. See the shortlisted entries.
Here is the agenda.
