Public registration is now open for UNCOVERED, the annual conference of the Investigative Journalism for Europe (IJ4EU) fund.
Taking place on September 25, this year’s event will be hosted by the iMEdD International Journalism Forum.
Organised by the European Centre for Press and Media Freedom (ECPMF), UNCOVERED offers a closer look at the work of IJ4EU grantees and others shaping the landscape of collaborative watchdog journalism in Europe.
UNCOVERED is for registered participants only, including current IJ4EU grantees. Don’t miss your chance to reserve a spot at the closed-door event — spots are limited and going fast, so be quick!
Attendance at UNCOVERED on 25 September requires registration for both UNCOVERED and the iMEdD Forum — otherwise you will not be able to gain entry.
The good news is that once they have registered for both, attendees of UNCOVERED will have full access to the entire iMEdD Forum, which runs from the evening of September 25 through September 27.
Both UNCOVERED and iMEdD International Journalism Forum are free to attend. The venue for both is Peiraios 260.
