SPLEE is a streaming platform for longform journalism and essays from across Europe. It responds to a central challenge: European discourses remain fragmented by language and borders, even as the EU grows ever more interconnected. By aggregating and translating content from leading publications—ZEIT, FAZ, Le Monde, La Vanguardia, Gazeta Wyborcza and others—SPLEE makes political and cultural debates accessible across the continent. Using recent advances in AI and data visualization, the platform compresses complexity without losing nuance, enabling audiences to navigate ideas, positions, and movements shaping the Union as a whole. A collaboration between Filmuniversität Babelsberg, the Deutsches Institut für Gutes Leben, and international partners, funded by the BMBF’s DATIpilot program. Launch planned for December 2025.
