Press Centre
Mediahub
The International Press Centre is a dynamic communication centre that does more than just provide facilities and services. It works in close collaboration with journalists' associations and has joined forces with the International Press Association (IPA-API) to set up a number of activities for the Belgian and international press:
- Newcomers briefings, in partnership with J@YS: information days for new foreign correspondents in Brussels
- API Hours @ Résidence Palace, where journalists meet in an informal and relaxed setting
- Seminars and debates with representatives of European Union Member States, civil society and the worlds of business, research and academia.
The aim of these activities is to:
- improve the welcome given to foreign correspondents;
- promote contact with Belgian and European civil society and the worlds of business, research and academia;
- bring together foreign correspondents and Belgian journalists.
Journalists@YourService (J@YS)
Journalists’ associations from Belgium and abroad have their own service centre at the Résidence Palace - International Press Centre - Brussels: Journalists@YourService. This offers professional advice, assistance and services for foreign journalists working in Brussels.
The J@YS presidency is currently perceived by the International Press Association.
