Deadline: 28 March 2016
Institute for Human Sciences (IWM) is currently inviting applications from the European journalists for the Milena Jesenská Fellowships program offering European journalists time off from their professional duties in order to pursue in-depth research on a topic of their choice.
The call is directed towards cultural journalists, with the term “cultural” being interpreted in a broad sense to encompass a wide variety of intellectual and artistic fields. However, applicants’ work may also deal with societal issues of European relevance and be related to one of IWM’s main research fields.
Award
During the next fellowship term (July 2016- June 2017) four fellows are invited to spend three months each at the IWM in Vienna, Austria.
The fellows will:
- Receive a stipend of EUR 2,500 per month.
- Be provided an office including access to internet, administrative and research facilities as well as other services free of charge.
- Be paid travel grants of up to EUR 1,900 for project-related research trips.
Eligibility Criteria
- Milena Jesenská Fellowships are intended as an award for excellence and are directed towards experienced European journalists (including Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey).
- Applicants must have worked in print, broadcast or online journalism for several years and must have an outstanding professional record.
- Applications by entry-level journalists or students will be rejected.

- a concise project proposal in English (max. 8,000 characters incl. spaces) with a description of the intended outcome (book, article(s), film, TV or radio broadcast etc.)
