Journalismusfest Innsbruck – Internationale Tage der Information (Innsbruck Journalism Festival – International Days of Information) is a hub, a place of debate and cultural exchange. Journalists from different regions of Europe and beyond will make their specialised expertise heard, enter into discussions about pressing matters with researchers, NGO representatives, and other experts and provide an insight into their job. All of them will also engage in conversation with the audience.
The international Journalismusfest is a cooperative project. The event’s organisers partnered with quality media outlets from Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy in order to bring this programme to fruition. Furthermore, support from local cultural organisations, partner festivals, or institutions like the University of Innsbruck facilitates the event.
It is especially public funding bodies, associations, foundations and various partnerships, that make the International Days of Information possible. In addition to that, we are happy to be able to count on the contributions of so many others.
We open a window for the complex present that we live in.
In 2025, we welcome more than 170 participants from 20 countries and three continents to ~70 events in the heart of Innsbruck.
The event locations can easily be reached by foot or bike.
A festival for the interested public.
Open to all!
