The EBU has championed the value of PSM for over 70 years. We use our voice to campaign for the most favourable environment for EBU Members to thrive, to make the case for independence and sustainable funding, and to advocate for the best competitive, regulatory and technology frameworks, both internationally and nationally. Members can rely on teams of experts in Geneva and Brussels to represent your interests and provide analysis and recommendations on EU policy, tech giants, standards, spectrum and other major European and global issues. Tailored legal advice, research and best practice can also be offered on issues that include PSM governance, rights agreements and media laws.

As an EBU Member you have access to a unique portfolio of learning and development opportunities and can join communities of experts that share experience and information in a trusted environment. We collaborate with Members to offer over 500 events a year and also provide distinctive intelligence, tailored research and interactive databases of media insights and international media coverage. Through solidarity initiatives, including the Partnership Programme, we facilitate access to training and events for Members in need.

future-proofing

In a rapidly evolving media environment we help Members navigate strategic and organizational change and take the decisions that ensure your continued effectiveness and sustainability across a broad spectrum of challenges including the future of work, content production/distribution, cybesecurity and advanced technologies. To build strategic knowledge and inspire innovative thinking our research experts also provide distinctive analysis of key trends as well as on-demand intelligence.

Our teams of media professionals offer distinctive research, data reports and customized advice as part of your membership, while our solidarity Partnership Programme and Media Innovation Fund enable Members to benefit from financial support. And as part of the Membership fee review approved in 2020, we are committed to ensuring a compelling and transparent membership proposition for all Members and to a mid-term assessment of the new model during the current cycle of five two-year periods.
