Europe’s MediaLab (Fondation EURACTIV) is a think-and-do-tank fostering a healthy media community in Europe. It was set up in 2003 as a ‘Fondation d’Utilité Publique’ under Belgian law.
Advocate for media independence, media pluralism and language diversity in Europe
Support media coverage of EU policy both at a national and local level
Promote media innovation projects for media and related stakeholders
In turn, this will contribute to a healthy democracy and the emergence of a European public sphere. This requires also innovation for the media sector.
A “think-and-do tank” includes activities seeking to act directly on the policy environment through innovative projects. As such, we:
Promote debates and the sharing of best practices through conferences, training programmes and workshops
Implement projects fostering media sector’s innovation and skills
Communicate relevant news via a monthly newsletter on media and democracy
EURACTIV Media Network is a separate organisation which coordinates EU policy news in 12+ languages. It inspired Europe’s MediaLab (Fondation EURACTIV) with whom it shares the same offices, values and founder.
