IPS - Inter Press Service News Agency

IPS Europe

IPS EUROPA | IPS EUROPE is the acronym for IPS–Inter Press Service Europa gGmbH, a public benefit organization set up in April 2004 as regional office for Europe and the Mediterranean. It was officially inaugurated at a public event on April 28, 2005 with an address by Eveline Herfkens, UN MDG Campaign Coordinator.

Before IPS EUROPE was set up, IPS Germany functioned as a de facto regional entity for more than five years. The new regional entity was set up by the IPS International Association with a nominal capital of Euro 25,000. It is a founding member of the IPS International News Agency along with regional entities in Africa , Asia–Pacific , Latin America and North America and the IPS Columnist Service.
