Milena Jesenská Fellowships for Journalists

Objective

The Milena Jesenská Fellowship program offers European journalists working in print, broadcast and electronic media time off from their professional duties in order to pursue in-depth research on a European topic of their choice. The call for applications is directed towards cultural journalists, with the term ‘cultural’ interpreted in a broad sense to encompass a wide variety of artistic and intellectual fields.

Recipients of the fellowships are given:

• a stipend of € 7.630
• an office
• access to e-mail and Internet
• in-house research facilities
• other relevant resources in Vienna.

Travel grants of up to € 1.820 will be available for research visits to neighboring countries.

Candidates for the Milena Jesenská Fellowships must have several years of experience in professional journalism. Their work may deal with any topic related to cultural issues of European relevance, especially having to do with the issue of European integration.
