The AEJ is an independent, self-funding association for journalists, writers and
specialists in European affairs. We also organise other seminars and special
events from time to time.
The AEJ offers journalists in Ireland the chance to be part of a professional and
social network of media professionals and experts on European issues. Membership
can provide valuable mutual support for individual journalists.
We are not tied to any institutional or political group but are recognised by the Council
of Europe, the OSCE and UNESCO. Our goals are to advance knowledge and debate
on European affairs and to uphold media freedom.
The AEJ Irish Section is part of a Europe-wide network of some 20 national sections across
Europe, with more than 1000 members in all. Internationally, the AEJ has an active
programme of professional activities and the annual AEJ Congress is a forum for
debate on matters of common concern to journalists across the continent.
