About us

Euranet's aim is to set up better communication between European citizens and EU policy-makers. With its joint programmes and multi-lingual, interactive audio offerings, the new European network creates a sense of togetherness, improves European communication and further develops the much-debated European „public sphere“. This cross-border initiative is not only innovative, but also unique. It is potentially the key to solving European communication problems.

Euranet’s joint broadcasts went on air at the beginning of April 2008.

Who participates?

Paneuropean programmes

Euranet reports on cultural, social, economic and political events in the EU from a pan-European perspective.

• News: Important daily information about newsworthy events in Europe.
• Current Affairs: Daily reports about politics, economics and society.
• Magazines: Daily in-depth background features from a pan-European perspective on cultural, social, economic and political events across Europe.
• Dossiers: Devoted coverage appearing several times a year in all languages focussing on topics ranging from immigration to energy and the environment through to lifestyle.
• Live: Live coverage of special events in Europe 3 to 4 times a year.

Affiliated radio stations deliver individual programme elements in their respective language, for example reports, reportages, interviews etc., for individual programming, which then form part of joint European programming and are broadcast and re-broadcast by the respective partners. The network produces around 110,000 minutes of programmes each year. All the programme elements are broadcast on the existing frequencies of participating stations.

Euranet programmes are supported by the European Commission.
