The Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) is offering science journalists the opportunity for a paid three-month “Journalist in Residence” program starting in April 2024. Applications are open until Oct. 31, 2023.
The Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) in Klosterneuburg – in the immediate vicinity of Vienna – is a PhD-granting research institute. Opened in 2009, the Institute is dedicated to basic research in the natural sciences, mathematics and computer sciences. The Institute has a total of 1000 employees and 75 different research groups – and thus many exciting scientific topics.
“ISTA aims to promote high-quality science journalism,” explains Florian Schlederer, Head of Communications & Events at ISTA. “The Journalist in Residence program aims to facilitate exchange between journalists and researchers and explore new ways to make research results accessible to a broader public.”

For three months, science journalists are invited to accompany two research groups at ISTA. They will have the opportunity to dive deep into cutting-edge interdisciplinary research on campus while pursuing their own independent science journalism projects. They will share their communication expertise with the scientists on campus through lectures or workshops. A total of € 15,000 will be refunded for the residency.
By the way: ISTA also offers artists the opportunity to exchange and interact with scientists through the Institute's “Artist in Residence” program.
