The Dutch-Flemish Association of Investigative Journalists (VVOJ) is a small but mighty force for accountability reporting in Europe, training journalists and recognizing the best in the craft at its annual conference.
The next Global Investigative Journalism Conference will be brought to you by GIJN and VVOJ, together with their regional partners Journalismfund Europe and Free Press Unlimited.
More than 100 journalists from across the Global South received financial aid to attend our last global conference, apply now for the opportunity to attend GIJC27 on a fellowship.
To create the most inclusive and impactful global conference for investigative journalists, we are now soliciting great ideas for sessions for GIJC27. Send us your proposals!
The next Global Investigative Journalism Conference will be held in Rotterdam, and will feature the latest reporting tools and techniques, cutting-edge workshops, and extensive networking.
The 15th Global Investigative Journalism Conference will be held in 2027 in the Netherlands, co-hosted by GIJN and VVOJ (The Dutch-Flemish Association of Investigative Journalists).
In 2001 GIJN was born, as investigative journalists from around the globe met for the very first time to share ideas, tips, and best practices to strengthen their reporting in a world where journalism was increasingly under threat.
Today the threat has multiplied, and at GIJN we find ourselves under the same pressures as our member organizations. Most urgently: available funding for investigative journalism has been impacted as some longtime funders who supported journalism in the past are no longer doing so or have closed. Yet our work continues, more important than ever before.
GIJN serves as the global hub for the world’s investigative reporters. Our core mission is to support and strengthen investigative journalism—with special attention to those from repressive regimes and marginalized communities.
We are embarking on our first-ever campaign initiative to help us expand our revenue by the end of the year through individual donors. If you have ever joined one of our free webinars, used one of our free resources, learned a new skill thanks to a GIJN training, or simply believe that press freedom is essential to civil society, we ask you to show your support for GIJN’s work with a donation of your choosing. Called “Friends of GIJN,” this campaign includes a more personalized experience, starting in 2027, for individuals who answer the call to join with us during this unprecedented time.
Truth and democracy are under attack around the world. You can fight back by helping GIJN support investigative journalists with free access to the latest tools and techniques — so they can foster justice and hold accountable those who abuse the public trust.
With a staff based in 24 countries, GIJN works in a dozen languages each day, linking together the world’s most enterprising journalists, offering state-of-the-art training, webinars, tip sheets, and a Help Desk that responds to 2,000+ requests for assistance each year. More than 84% of GIJN’s operating budget goes directly to our program work.
Please make a gift today to support journalists on the front lines of the fight for accountability and human rights.
