IJ4EU is offering travel grants so investigative teams it currently supports can attend the IJ4EU UNCOVERED Conference in Budapest on 17 and 18 September 2026.

• The money is intended to help cover travel and accommodation costs for one or more team members.
• Team leaders of eligible IJ4EU-supported investigations are invited to apply.
• Each eligible team will receive a single travel grant to manage and share at their own discretion, and teams are responsible for deciding how to allocate the funds among their members.

• A short online application form, submitted by the team leader.
• Attendance at the UNCOVERED Conference in Budapest on 17–18 September 2026.
• All grant recipients must sign a grant agreement in person at the UNCOVERED Conference.
