The Maria Leptin | EMBO Science Journalism Fellowships support science journalists and life scientists entering careers as science journalists
EMBO launches the Maria Leptin | EMBO Science Journalism Fellowship scheme supporting science journalists across Europe. The fellowships are intended for life scientists who wish to pursue a career in science journalism and journalists who wish to deepen and broaden their knowledge of the latest research fields and technologies.
“Science journalism plays a key role at the interface between scientists and the public,” says Fiona Watt, Director of EMBO. “The Maria Leptin | EMBO Science Journalism Fellowship scheme aims to promote high-quality, evidence-based science journalism in the life sciences.”
Fellows will receive stipends for a duration of three to twelve months to fund stays in media outlets of any type, editorial offices or research institutions of their choice to help advance their careers.
Applicants must reside in one of the 31 EMBC Member States. Scientists can apply for opportunities to gain journalism experience and journalists can apply for funds to be embedded in research institutions. There is no age restriction for applicants.
Applications can be submitted throughout the year, with three selection rounds per year.
The scheme was made possible by a generous donation from Maria Leptin, former Director of EMBO.
