Call for Applications by Milena Jesenská Fellowships for Journalists. The Milena Jesenská Fellowship program offers European journalists time off from their professional duties in order to pursue extensive research on a topic of their choice. Journalists from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey are also eligible to apply.
The call is directed towards cultural journalists with the term “cultural” being interpreted in an extensive sense to encompass a wide variety of intellectual and artistic fields. However, applicants’ work may also deal with societal issues of European relevance.
Milena Jesenská Fellowships are intended as an award for excellence and are directed towards experienced journalists. The fellows are invited to spend three months at the IWM in Vienna, Austria. They will receive a stipend in the amount of EUR 7.630 and are provided with an office, access to e-mail and internet, in-house research facilities, and other relevant resources in Vienna. Travel grants of around EUR 1.820 can be paid for research trips to neighboring countries.
