EurActiv is an independent European media platform specialising in the online publication of articles dealing with European news and European-centric topics. It is present across 12 EU capitals.[1]

EurActiv publishes its articles in 12 languages, providing free, in—depth information to a Community of EU Actors.[2] The online media also has content sharing agreements with other news platforms, such as The Guardian, Der Tagesspiegel, El País - Planeta Futuro and La Tribune.

EurActiv.com[3] was founded in 1999 by Christophe Leclercq, following which EurActiv.fr[4] was launched to cater EU news to the French population.[5]

Activities

With its main office based in Brussels, EurActiv is at the heart of EU debates, enabling the media platform to provide up to date, relevant and trusted information. [6] EurActiv often focusses its attention on the positioning of EU Actors at the pre-legislative stage of decision-making.[7]

The content is available in 12 languages.

Apart from EurActiv’s offices in Belgium, France, Germany and the UK, 9 other offices are spread around Europe: Greece, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Spain, Italy, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria and Poland.[8]

Each national website republishes content from EurActiv.com in their respective languages, with additional content relevant to their own situation within the EU.[9]

In October 2007, EurActiv launched a blogging platform named BlogActiv where over 500 contributors blog about their EU-related topic, for which they are often dedicated specialists.[10]

EurActiv also acts as a dissemination partner for EU research projects, providing communication support throughout the project life-cycle: from communication plans, through project launches, major events and project milestones, to final reports.[11]

Fondation EurActiv

EurActiv also founded the Fondation EurActiv Politech (founded under Belgian law, acting primarily to bring together individuals and organisations seeking to shape European Union policies).[12][13]

According to EurActiv, the Fondation[14][15][16]

does not lobby, except to promote online media independence, and is not aligned to any political faction or faith group.

Financial Model

EurActiv’s online media content is accessible for free, but copyrighted.[17]

Via sponsoring, memberships and other such ventures, EurActiv offers these actors dedicated insight into a particular area of EU policy-making.[18]

EurActiv is financed by a variety of EU Actors, be they of public or private origin. For example, in 2015, EurActiv had contributions from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Sanofi and Regeneron.[19]
