Here's how the Bellingcat team and wider community spent 2023 and prepared for our 10 year anniversary in 2024, from publishing vital investigations to building useful open source research tools.
A major part of 2023 was dedicated to finalising a new five-year strategy, necessary to ensure that Bellingcat can stay at the forefront of open-source investigation and remain a leader in developing methods with applications in a variety of fields including education, journalism, legal practice, academic research and many others.
At the core of our strategy is a commitment to our community: the many thousands of people across the world who are inspired by Bellingcat’s work to expose wrongdoing wherever they may live. Our strategy is centred on building spaces where open source research enthusiasts can meet, share information, and learn how to conduct open source investigations like the ones carried out by Bellingcat Staff. Our strategy is intrinsically connected to our community: for Bellingcat to thrive into the next decade, our community must thrive.
