The Journalism Science Alliance, a programme co-funded by the European Union, opens today the first call for grants for journalist-scientist teams across Europe. One million euros will be delivered in funding to produce investigative journalism backed by science co-created by journalists and scientists.
These grants, with the duration of eight months, will support collaborations between journalists and scientists to produce high-quality investigative journalism stories with local, regional and transnational impact, grounded in scientific evidence and focused on topics of public interest, such as climate change, healthcare, emerging technologies, or local governance.
Applications will remain open until the 4 August 2025, at 17:00 CEST.
The Journalism Science Alliance encourages submissions from journalists and media outlets from all formats – print, broadcast, digital, multimedia, and documentary –, scientists, academia, research institutions, freelancers, and NGOs engaged in journalism or academic/scientific research.
Each team must include at least one media outlet (the lead applicant must be a journalist) and one research or academic institution (co-lead).
In addition to funding, selected teams will receive mentorship, access to training sessions, and opportunities to participate in networking events with other grantees.
Applications must be submitted in English through the European Journalism Center Platform.
