With this project Journalismfund Europe wants 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.
For who?
Professional journalists
The results of the research must be published in a Dutch-language medium in Belgium.
HOW MUCH
€80,000
In 2025, there will be €80,000 to distribute over two application rounds, which means approx. €40,000 per round. The programme is subsidised by the Flemish government.
