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-tank is a policy unit researching and promoting innovative policy solutions. A “think-and-do tank” includes activities seeking to prototype its analyses and recommendations. It acts 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.
