News outlets, staff journalists and freelancers in Europe interested in cross-border investigative stories can apply for the Investigative Journalism for Europe (IJ4EU) grant.

The Investigation Support Scheme will award up to EUR 50,000 for investigative projects by teams of journalists and/or news organisations. 

Teams must include members from at least two EU member states or at least one EU member state and one official EU candidate country (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Norway, Serbia and Ukraine).

To be eligible, projects must focus on a topic of cross-border relevance and aim at revealing new information. Projects focusing on underreported issues are welcomed, but all topics will be considered. This includes, but is not limited to, corruption, illicit enrichment and financial crime; security; democracy; human rights; the environment and climate change; migration and public health.
