A cross-border team of reporters, editors and producers, Investigate Europe delivers in-depth investigative journalism from a changing Europe. Our reporting shines a light on the untold stories, unchecked institutions and hidden structures that shape the continent today. Together, we connect the dots on Europe.
Our multilingual team investigates issues that resonate beyond national borders and from the boardrooms in Brussels to the streets of Berlin and Budapest. We then publish our findings with national media partners and through our own channels.
From exposing corporate greed and the crises in Europe's care homes, to naming and shaming the EU countries selling arms to Russia, to revealing the struggles of child migrants arriving in Europe, our stories call out those responsible and hold the powerful to account.
We started developing Investigate Europe in 2015, when media across Europe failed to adequately cover the eurozone debt crisis. National perspectives, combined with ignorance of EU institutions and the real economic context, led to misleading coverage that accompanied major political missteps.
Recognising that complex European issues need to be investigated across borders and free of perceived national interests, we launched our investigative team in 2016 to address the lack of coherent, nuanced storytelling on Europe-wide issues. As of September 2024, we are a co-operative with over 20 members across 11 European countries.
