Investigate Europe

Investigate Europe is a team of investigative journalists focusing on in-depth European issues, using techniques such as open source reporting, data journalism and freedom of information requests. The organisation is registered as a not-for-profit European cooperative. Its reporters conduct in-depth, cross-border investigations into migration, conflict and corruption, and work with leading media to publish their findings. This collaborative approach raises public awareness of under-reported issues.

History

edit

Investigate Europe was founded in 2016 by a group of economic journalists from different European countries.[1] It was registered as a non-profit organisation in 2019. The organisations first managing directors were Oliver Moldenhauer and Elisa Simantke.[2]

Publications

edit

Investigate Europe has published dozens of cross-border investigations since its foundation. Of particular note is its investigation into a previously little-known investment protection treaty, the Energy Charter Treaty.[3] As a result, more than a million people signed a petition calling on EU countries to withdraw from the treaty.[4] Multiple EU member states eventually withdrew from the treaty.[5][6][7] In another investigation Investigate Europe revealed the Moria logbook,[8] in which the camp management recorded the conditions under which unaccompanied minors were housed in the Moria refugee camp on the Greek island of Lesbos. In the Secrets of Council project,[9] Investigate Europe has been working since 2017 to make decision-making in the Council of the EU more transparent.
