Deadline: 15 October 2012
The Robert Bosch Stiftung supports professional dedication to the promotion of good relations between Germany and its eastern neighbors. Funding is available to media projects involving journalists from Eastern and Western Europe designed to improve the flow of information between Germany and its eastern neighbors. Applications for funding for projects like information tours, conferences and seminars may be submitted at any time. At least one other funding organization should be involved.
Furthermore research projects are supported carried out by one journalist or an international team with the goal of publishing articles in Central and Eastern Europe and China, as well as in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Amplifying the programmatic focus, applications for Sino-German media projects are welcome.
JOURNALISTS ON LOCATION - RESEARCH GRANTS
Would you like to go off the beaten path, get to the bottom of things, and give your readers a never-before-seen look at Central and Eastern Europe or China? Or have you discovered a topic in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland that your audience in Central and Eastern Europe or China has to hear about? Would it be easier to conduct research on the story as part of an international team than by going it alone?
We are looking for active journalists who want to go on location to learn, ask questions, dig deeper, and make discoveries in order to incorporate their findings into nuanced political or economic reporting that really gets to the heart of the issue. The Robert Bosch Stiftung is supporting research projects carried out by print and online journalists for the purpose of preparation for publishing articles in Central and Eastern Europe and China, as well as research with the goal of publishing articles in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Journalists can apply for research grants of between 2,000 and 7,000 euros. The deadline for applications is October 15, 2012. A selection committee will make its decisions and inform all applicants by December 15, 2012.
