iMEdD is offering 12 journalism students in Greece the opportunity to attend IJ WEEK, the new international online initiative by the Global Investigative Journalism Network (GIJN), taking place 26–30 October 2026.
What does it take to investigate a story? Where do you find the evidence? Which tools can help you uncover it? And who can you learn from along the way?
This October, 12 journalism students in Greece will get the chance to explore these questions alongside investigative journalists from around the world.
iMEdD launched the IJ Week x iMEdD Fellowship, covering participation fees of three students from each of the four Greek universities offering journalism studies: Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Panteion University and Ionian University to attend IJ WEEK, a new international online initiative by the Global Investigative Journalism Network (GIJN), taking place 26–30 October 2026. The students were selected following an invitation extended to the universities to nominate candidates for the fellowship.
IJ WEEK brings together journalists, editors, trainers and investigative specialists from across the world for a programme packed with practical learning and professional exchange.
Across more than 35 online discussions, workshops and networking sessions, participants will explore topics including technology, environmental reporting, corruption, money laundering and other key areas of investigative journalism.
Supporting the next generation of journalists is an important part of iMEdD’s commitment to strengthening journalism and fostering a community of professionals who can learn from one another, exchange knowledge and explore new approaches to reporting. By creating opportunities for students to engage with experienced journalists and gain access to international training, iMEdD seeks to help bridge the gap between academic learning and professional practice, while encouraging curiosity, critical thinking and the development of investigative skills from an early stage.
