European Projects

This project aims to create a large-scale newsroom without language barriers, powered by AI.

How does it work? European media organisations share their content through a platform that translates both text and audio reports into various languages. These translations are then verified by journalists from the respective newsrooms before being made available to the public. Each partner can access content in the language most relevant to their audience, offering a European perspective on current events.

Duration and funding: The 'A European Perspective' project is co-financed by the European Union and led by the EBU (European Broadcasting Union). It spans one year and will conclude on 30 June 2025.

Partners: AISBL EBU-UER, AFP, Bayerischer Rundfunk, České televiz, EBU, Eesti Rahvusringhääling, Fonden Constructive Foundation, France Télévisions, Georgian Public Broadcaster, Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation, Latvian Television, Lithuanian National Radio and Television, RTP, RTBF, RTÉ, RTVE, Ríkisútvarpið, Sveriges Radio, SRG SSR, Suspilne.

DS4Skills is a European data space dedicated to skills and education, aligned with the European strategy for building sectoral data spaces (health, tourism, finance, mobility, etc.). AFP is partnering with the French edtech company Tralalère to develop two AI‑based services: an educational agent helping young audiences identify misinformation mechanisms, and a text‑to‑video conversion tool applied to fact‑checks.

Their added value lies in strong editorial oversight, with AI serving the content. This experimental work is intended to be linked to the TEMS project, the European media data space in which AFP also participates. In parallel, DS4Skills is exploring seven other applications aimed at improving the visibility of European university programmes, testing new teaching methods, and designing learning pathways tailored to labour‑market needs.
