Journalismfund Europe announces the re-launch of the European Cross-Border Grants with a new expert approach. The project will encourage journalists to take a more scientific and methodical approach to their investigations, ultimately improving their ability to inform the public more effectively. It will also provide management training to twenty selected small and medium-sized media companies.
The project is co-funded by the European Commission (Creative Europe) and launched by Journalismfund Europe and Stockholm School of Economics in Riga (SSE Riga). It starts on the 1st of January 2026 for 24 months. Six calls for proposals will be published between January 2026 and mid-2027.
