INPUT, founded in 1977, is the acronym derived from "INternational PUblic Television'. It exists to encourage the highest quality television programming worldwide; to support television as a service to the public; to promote discussion and debate about the television craft; and to serve as a global meeting point for those who make television. It recognizes TV's potential to promote better understanding among the world's different cultures.

INPUT has organized international television's most important and influential Annual Screening Conference for more than 25 years. This unique event — held in a different country each year — encourages the development of public service television by screening and debating the most outstanding programs from around the world. It also organizes many other activities throughout the year in dozens of countries. In doing so, INPUT provides a unique professional development opportunity for producers, directors, writers and all those — including independent producers — who contribute to public television throughout the world.
