The IJ4EU programme’s annual UNCOVERED Conference returns to Athens on 25 September 2025, once again as part of the iMEdD International Journalism Forum.
UNCOVERED brings together grantees from across Europe with leading experts in cross-border journalism for a day of candid discussions, lessons from the field and fresh opportunities to collaborate.
This year’s programme includes Cross-Border Snapshots highlighting key takeaways from recent investigations, lively debates on collaboration and newsroom dynamics, and open conversations about burnout, trauma and the pressures of investigative reporting. Networking, lightning talks and a few surprises are also in store.
On 26 September, UNCOVERED teams up with the iMEdD Forum to host the IJ4EU Impact Awards, celebrating outstanding cross-border investigations with €15,000 in prize money.
