Dataharvest 2026 - the European Investigative Journalism Conference

This informal session is intended to bring together journalists who use access to documents procedures within European Institutions and member states. It is the second (in-person) meeting of the informal network of these journalists since it was launched at Dataharvest 2024, but it is open to all journalists and researchers with knowledge of the right to information & access to documents anywhere in Europe. During the meeting, we will present a cross-border guide, a handy resource for journalists making access to information requests to governments and official bodies across borders in different European countries and with the European Union institutions. The guide is meant to provide basic information for each country, such as how to make requests, timelines, and points of contact for each country if assistance is required.
