The EBU Radio Committee Chairman, Graham Ellis, and the EBU Head of Radio, Graham Dixon, are delighted to welcome you to the Radio Assembly in Sofia, kindly hosted by Bulgarian National Radio.  

The Radio Assembly will meet on 11-12 April. On the evening of 10 April at 19:30, there will be a short concert and welcoming reception.  Please try and arrive during Wednesday afternoon.

Elections for the EBU Radio Committee will take place at 14:00 on the Friday afternoon. More details will follow. For the moment, please ensure that you book your flights to be present for these elections. Your voice is important in shaping the future radio activities of the EBU.

The EBU Radio Assembly is the unique meeting place for senior leaders in the world of public radio. Our public media sector constantly faces new challenges, in various areas of activity, but at the same time new opportunities present themselves for deepening the relationship with audiences. Colleagues are constantly devising new and inspiring ways of interpreting and fulfilling the public service mission, and they will be sharing their insights.

The Radio Assembly Agenda is shaped around issues raised by Members and seeks to provide fresh thinking to inform Member development. We will be concentrating on:

  • younger audiences and their needs
  • how PSM measures success
  • impartiality in a changing world
  • reaching audiences through latest technologies

In addition to the regular reports on the EBU radio and music activities, there will be a chance to discuss the new EBU strategy and hear about the developing vision for the Union.
