About

The Independent Community Radio Network (ICRN) is a non-profit organisation and web radio network founded in 2022. We connect and support radios from across Europe to foster sustainability, cross-regional collaboration, and knowledge-sharing in independent radio and community media.

While our roots are in the Baltic-Nordic region, our network has expanded internationally, reflecting the growing need for collaboration in our field. Our annual activities include in-person gatherings, online workshops, commissioned research and editorial work, centred on web radio and the local communities of our members.

We actively support underrepresented voices, ensuring our work reflects the diverse social groups our members serve. Through knowledge-sharing, we aim to break notions of competitiveness in community media and foster an environment to create and develop together.

ICRN is currently funded by the Nordic Culture Point, Erasmus+, and by donation. We are also a proud member of the Reset! Network.
