This is an investigative journalism opportunity for European environmental affairs. Applicants must be “cross-border teams of at least two journalists and/or news outlets can submit a proposal for a journalistic investigation about an issue that concerns the environment — environmental protection, destruction, biodiversity, impact of climate change on the nature, etc. The investigation proposal must concern cross-border environmental investigative journalism on European affairs — in or outside Europe. This means that the investigation has (also) to be of relevance for Europe. Next to investigations into environmental issues that transcend borders, this grant can also support comparative investigations into local environmental issues and policies between two or more countries, regions or cities.” Only applicants who are legally residing in at least two different countries are permitted to receive funding. Successful applicants who need support in a specific aspect of the investigation can request a mentor. The overall grant pool for each cycle is €400,000 and grants will be split between projects. According to their FAQ, grants “could vary from e.g. €2,000 for smaller investigations to €20,000 or even more for very large investigations that involve newsrooms in many countries, require a lot of research and expenses, data access, legal screening, etc., and yield a large series of publications.”
