Detailed Call Description

The proposed activities should be clearly justified and based on the needs of the chosen (sub)sector(s). The proposed partnerships are encouraged to involve organisations from countries/regions with different and diverse media capabilities.

The activities should aim to serve the wider ecosystem across Europe, including small media.
