The EBU Digital Committee, established in 2015, plays a pivotal role in navigating the digital landscape within EBU member organizations. It spearheads initiatives aimed at advancing digital media strategies, fostering innovation, and addressing the evolving needs of Public Service Media in the digital and platform era.

Among its core functions, the Committee is tasked with formulating strategic objectives for the EBU Digital Unit, identifying key challenges impacting digital content production and distribution, and advocating for members' interests in digital content and platform strategy discussions. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in promoting collaboration among members in digital content creation and dissemination, and in maintaining relationships with Big Tech.

The EBU Television Committee assumes responsibility for overseeing the operations of the EBU's television services and charting the strategic course for television broadcasting.

With a mandate to oversee the strategic work and co-production activities of expert groups working in Fiction, Documentaries, Formats, Music & Performing Arts, and Specialist Factual programming, the Committee will build on the work of the previous Committee to strengthen the value of the EBU network for its members in the area of audiovisual content strategy.
