Deadline: 3-Feb-22
Journalismfund.eu is now accepting applications for the Science Journalism (Pilot) Grant Program to stimulate in-depth science journalism in Dutch-language media in Belgium.
The programme offers grants to science journalists to work on projects that have great newsworthiness and depth but that cannot be realised in regular media. The projects should be original, innovative and time-consuming and must involve investigative reporting on science and its impact on society.
Funding Information
- Up to € 30.000 available.
- The grant programme is subsidised by the Flemish government.
Eligibility Criteria
- The results of the research must be published in a Dutch-language medium in Belgium.
- Both beginning (starters) and experienced journalist (seniors) can submit a project that cannot be realised through the normal channels of journalism, that has major news value and depth and that is also original, innovative and time-consuming.
- The applicant must be a journalist (written or audio-visual press), or be able to prove that he/she is aspiring to a career in journalism. Personal references and/or references to earlier work are essential in that respect.
- Only natural persons can apply for a grant.
- Projects with regard to investigative and special journalism must deal with topics that are relevant for Flanders.
- The project must be published in a Dutch-language medium in Belgium. A letter of intent for publication from at least one professional news outlet is required for journalists with more than 2 years of experience. For starters this is considered a plus.
- All journalistic end products qualify for a grant: newspaper and magazine articles, radio and television documentaries and series, photo-reportages and books, podcasts and journalistic non-fiction books.
