Dear user,

Last month, the EBU switched to a new authentication method, Microsoft Entra, and decommissioned the former one (sso.ebu.ch).

What this means for most EBU Members ?

Employees of most EBU Members should now use a federated login to authenticate. This means your organization acts as the identity provider. You no longer need 2 separate accounts or 2 separate passwords.

Your work credentials give you access to EBU content.

What to do on the next screen ?

If you already have an EBU account, enter your professional email address and select Next. You will see the EBU logo change to your organization’s logo. Enter your usual work password and, if prompted, accept the sharing of information with the EBU.

What if we are using shared mailboxes ?

The new authentication mechanism does not work with shared mailboxes. If you usually access EBU websites using a shared account, you must create a new individual user account. Scroll down to view the instructions.

If federated login does not work ?

For some EBU Members, as well as the general public, federated login will not work. Login remains possible with your existing account. 3 different cases may occur:

Case 1: If your email address is linked to a Microsoft account, you will be redirected to https://login.live.com. Log in using your usual Microsoft credentials.
Case 2: If your email address is linked to a Google account, you will be redirected to https://accounts.google.com. Log in using your usual Google credentials.
Case 3: If your email address is not linked to either service, you will receive a temporary password by email each time you log in.

What to do if none of the above seems to work ?

Please read the instructions below carefully, as the choice you make during your first login cannot be changed later.

To create a new account, select No account? Create one.

You will have 3 options:

Microsoft: Recommended for users working for EBU Member organizations.
Google: Create an account using your existing Google account.
Other valid email address: A temporary password will be sent to your inbox each time you log in.

If you still cannot log in after following these instructions, contact [email protected].

Members of the European Broadcasting Union have united in their condemnation of yesterday's shooting at the Paris office of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo that left twelve dead.

In a show of respect, staff from the organization's Geneva headquarters gathered outside its offices with banners that read 'Je suis Charlie' (I am Charlie), a reference to the hashtag that is trending on Twitter in solidarity with the victims.

One of the twelve victims was Bernard Maris, a former journalist and producer at EBU Member Radio France/France Inter. Four of the magazine's well-known cartoonists, including its editor, were also killed, as well as two police officers.

Condemning the atrocity in the most severe of terms, EBU President Jean Paul Philippot described the attack as an unacceptable assault on freedom of expression.

“Freedom of expression, a fundamental democratic value, has been violated in the most cruel way,” Mr Philippot said. “Our heartfelt sympathies reach out to the families and the colleagues of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. The European Broadcasting Union stands in defense of the media – the guarantors of diversity and tolerance, the pillars of a free and democratic society.”

Elsewhere, Members of the EBU demonstrated their solidarity in similar ways.
