TV Documentary Experts

The TV Documentary Experts Group consists of commissioning editors and other professionals from EBU Members working in the field.

The Group's work consists of 3 pillars: networking, inspiration and co-production. Group members are encouraged to strengthen their cooperation, share their experiences and develop new programmes.

A pitching session is organized during the two annual meetings to set up new co-production projects. Group members pitch ca. 15 selected co-production proposals to their colleagues. Most of these projects focus on to cultural issues, current affairs or subjects related to contemporary history.

Participating EBU Members elect group members for a 2-year mandate. They meet on average four times a year.

The Group's main tasks are:

• to follow up and support ongoing projects
• to discuss the potential of new projects
• to define the Group's agenda and long-term strategy
