Summary
The ERC wishes to support an organisation or a consortium of organisations to set up a funding scheme that would facilitate 3-5-month stays of journalists at research institutions. The purpose is to give the journalists opportunities to learn and work on in-depth reporting projects by immersing themselves in the research environment and interacting with scientists and scholars.
Detailed Call Description
The holder of this coordination and support action grant would be expected to, among others:
- design the support programme that addresses the aforementioned goals, advances the set objective and respects the principle of editorial independence of journalists,
- set up a high-level media advisory committee to ensure the credibility and independence of the programme vis-a-vis journalists’ community,
- prepare conditions to carry out the actions, especially establish relations with ERC grantees and host institutions’ press offices to make sure the fellowships and placements are well organised and useful both to the journalists and to researchers,
- launch calls for applications or proposals for fellowships or placements potentially using the Financial support to third parties (FSTP),
- evaluate the proposals based on the criteria of excellence and impact, ensuring balance in terms of topics covered by the participating journalists, geographical distribution of host institutions, and gender of the participants,
