The International Journalists Program (IJP) is seeking applications for German-Central Eastern European Journalist Scholarship.
The International Journalists Program (IJP) is advertising a scholarship program for journalists who want to dedicate six to eight weeks to reporting on climate and energy issues for the sixth time.
Journalists who receive the climate and energy grant will gain a deeper and more detailed insight into the subject area and thus have the opportunity to work both on a topic and internationally and to specialize. The participants are invited to pursue a transnational research project on a jointly chosen topic during their fellowship period.
The scholarship begins with a thematic introductory conference (probably in mid-October 2023). This is followed by a stay in the respective guest media. Journalists from Germany spend the scholarship period with a medium in the other countries mentioned , while journalists from these countries come to a guest medium in Germany. The IJP choose the respective guest medium in consultation with the scholarship holders and with regard to interests and qualifications. The scholarship holders are involved in the work processes of the guest media, but also work on their own journalistic projects and report for the media in their home country.
Funding Information
- The scholarship holders receive a one-time payment of 3,800 euros. The amount is intended to cover part of the travel expenses, food and accommodation. All additional costs must be borne by the participants themselves.
