Milena Jesenská Fellowship for Journalists 2010/2011

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.

Milena Jesenská Fellows are invited to spend three months at the IWM in Vienna, Austria. Recipients of the fellowships are given a stipend of € 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 up to € 1.820 will be available for research visits to neighboring countries.

Applicants' work may deal with any topic related to cultural issues of European relevance, especially having to do with the issue of European integration.

Fellowships are not intended for entry-level journalists or students.
