Second call of the science journalism residency programme has been opened

28/06/2024

As part of the FRONTIERS project funded by the European Research Council (ERC), a second call for applications for its science journalism in residency programme has been launched.

The goal of the initiative is to support a high-quality journalism and foster a better understanding between the complex world of science and the public opinion.

The programme is open to journalists from around the globe at various stages of their careers. The initiative offers science journalists the opportunity to spend three to five months in a host research institution located in an EU Member State or a country associated with the EU’s Horizon Europe Programme.

Applications must include the journalistic proposal for the residency period and commitment letters from both the applicant and the host institution.

Research institutions willing to host science journalists are also encouraged to express their interest in being listed in the database of research projects and institutions that is available to prospective applicants on the project’s website.

The call will be open until 25 September 2024, 17:00 CEST.

For more information, please watch also a recording of the Information Day held on 8 July 2024.
