Since 2019, INS has served as a podcast specialist for multiple EU institutions and agencies. We currently produce four original podcast series: Food for Europe (DG AGRI), Europe Calling (DG COMM), Eurofound Talks, and The Grassroots View (EESC). We now have over one hundred episodes under our belt, regularly reaching up to half a million listeners in Europe and beyond. Each production is accompanied by an audiogram which we produce in-house – a short video clip featuring an excerpt from the episode, which allows the content to be promoted beyond podcasting platforms.
In 2021-22, INS produced a series of TV and social media campaigns for Turkish audiences. The productions marked events such as International Women’s Day and World Environment Day, and included a documentary mini-series about EU climate diplomacy in Turkey called “Journey to Green with Blue” – a 40-minute main feature, plus five 10-minute episodes and six short teasers. This latter production reached millions of viewers via two of the country’s main news channels, as well as three factual broadcasters including National Geographic Turkey.
Some of Europe’s most wanted criminals are “hiding in plain sight”, living with new identities and avoiding justice for violent or serious criminal activity. INS was tasked with producing a series of short films which draw attention to Europol’s “most wanted” list, raising awareness of how members of the public can play a crucial role in identifying these individuals – even in the places where you’d least expect it. Each video reveals the dark past behind a seemingly-ordinary person who has managed to conceal their true identity – in this case, a taxi driver who previously transported people in less pleasant circumstances…
After having produced the entirety of the public-facing audiovisual content for Experience Europe, the European Commission’s new visitor centre in Brussels, INS was trusted with renewing nine short films for the Parlamentarium, the European Parliament’s equivalent facility. The project took us all over Europe, from Italy to Sweden, Lithuania, Latvia, Spain, Romania, Austria, Malta, Belgium, Poland and even beyond EU’s borders, to Moldova. Topics covered were as diverse as they come: precision farming, antibiotic resistance, LGBT+ rights, fighting fake news, women in science, consumers’ right to repair, securing the EU’s external borders, the Common European Asylum System, and reconnecting young audiences to European cinema, featuring Penelope Cruz attending the San Sebastian International Film Festival.
The Conference on the Future of Europe was a citizen-led series of debates and discussions that ran from April 2021 to May 2022. The Conference was the first of its kind: a major pan-European democratic exercise, with citizen-led debates enabling people from across Europe to share their ideas and help shape our common future. INS produced both long and short “aftermovies” to present the Conference and its legacy on behalf of the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Communication.
To mark the twentieth anniversary of Eurojust, INS produced a 4-minute video to present the agency’s work to support security and justice and its tangible impact on our lives. INS was responsible for the entirety of production: scriptwriting and concept development, casting and on-site shooting at Eurojust HQ, as well as post-production editing, motion design and subtitling.
The flagship annual event of the European Patent Office (EPO) is the European Inventor Awards, for which INS is responsible for the production of all the audiovisual content which presents the nominated inventors and promotes the ceremony itself. Shooting across 19 locations worldwide in the space of just six weeks, we delivered a vast array of video content – including the post-award “Highlight film” included here, in which all the footage (except from the live award event itself) was shot by INS crews.
The Technical Support Instrument (TSI) is the EU programme that provides tailor-made technical expertise to EU Member States to design and implement reforms in a wide range of policy areas like the green and the digital transitions, education, governance and public administration, labour market, social protection and migration and more.
INS produced a series of five videos to highlight some success stories through the application of the TSI. We went to Greece to talk about reforming the Greek reception system for asylum seekers; to Slovakia to see Commission support for setting out a strategy for a fair climate transition in the Upper Nitra region – and to Portugal, in the clip featured here, to document the Portuguese Action Program for the prevention of rural wildfires.
Since early 2019, the EU institutions have trusted INS to deliver fast-paced, high-quality video news coverage of their activities across the globe in the context of the Europe by Satellite (EBS) framework contract. For four years and in all four corners of the world, INS has been on-call 24/7 – working with our extensive network of over 1500 local AV teams and our partners at the Associated Press – to provide on-demand coverage of VIP visits, high-level summits, on-the-ground projects and more. To date, we have guaranteed the successful and timely delivery of almost one thousand coverage missions on every continent. The clip shown here presents just a small sample of our work for EbS.
EVANews is a unique project: an alliance between several of Europe’s most prestigious video news agencies to exchange and inform about European affairs against a rising tide of disinformation. At the heart of this collaboration is INS, which coordinates the project as well as producing reports in its own right.
INS’ in-house contributions include a monthly segment called “WTFEU!?”, which digests a different element of European political machinations via an accessible and playful animation. This episode explained the significance of the annual State of the European Union address, delivered by the President of the European Commission.
