The European Investigative Collaborations (EIC) network is a European collaborative hybrid project of transnational investigative journalism.[1][2] EIC was established in the fall of 2015 with founding members, including Der Spiegel, El Mundo, Mediapart, the Romanian Centre for Investigative Journalism (CRJI), and Le Soir, and launched in the winter of 2016. On March 18, 2016, after three months research, they published the results of their first joint investigation spurred on by the 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris, in which they revealed how in spite of security risk warnings, "the EU’s freedom of goods policy facilitated the sale of weapons leading to [the 2015] terror attacks in Paris."[3][4] In 2017 working with "over 60 journalists in 14 countries", the EIC published the Football Leaks—the "largest leak in sports history".[5][6]
