German-Central Eastern European Journalist Scholarship
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.
About the German-Central Eastern European Journalist Scholarship
The scholarship begins with a thematic introductory conference (probably October 2023). Usually, the stay in the respective guest media follows directly, but the start can take place at a different time in 2023/24. Journalists from Germany spend the scholarship period with a medium in the other countries mentioned above, 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 workflow of the guest media, but also work on their own journalistic projects and report for the media in their home country.
At a three-day final conference (probably December 2023), the participants will be asked to submit a three-page report on their experiences and their journalistic work that was produced during their stay. All scholarship holders are invited to stay in touch with former participants from Germany and over 40 other countries through an alumni group.
Scholarship Payment
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.
Application Process for the German-Central Eastern European Journalist Scholarship
Journalists from the above-mentioned countries who work as freelancers or editors in print, radio, online or TV can apply. Language skills in a language of the host country are not required. Working knowledge of English is expected in any case.
The following must be attached to the application:
• a tabular curriculum vitae with a passport photo
• a journalistic report from the head of department or the editor-in-chief, which also supports the application
• four written work samples (TV and radio journalists are asked to compile a comprehensive list of outstanding contributions)
• a preference for certain media as well as countries and cities (e.g. Munich, Prague or Zagreb). Applicants should indicate at least three media and country preferences.
The selection is made by a jury on the basis of the application documents, with the exclusion of legal recourse.
