At the heart of this collaboration is INS, which coordinates the project as well as producing reports in its own right.
In this report, we explored relations between the EU and the Gulf emirate of Qatar, which are closer than ever. Why? Europe needs Qatari gas – and human rights issues take a de facto back seat. The clip was disseminated in eight languages via our dedicated portal, evanews.eu
According to the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights, too many Europeans are reluctant to report crime, and too few understand that efficient justice is one of their fundamental rights.

Produced for ARTE and other European TV channels.

The European institutions trusted INS with vital public health campaigns throughout the pandemic – including around vaccination.

In July 2020, Frontex – the EU’s border agency – held a large exercise on the Black Sea together with Romanian and Bulgarian authorities, including a simulated emergency medical evacuation during search and rescue and stopping a ship with drug smugglers on board.
