The programme, co-funded by the European Union, will award one million euros in grants to journalist-scientist teams across Europe who want to develop investigative journalism projects grounded on scientific evidence. Journalists from all media formats – print, broadcast, digital, multimedia, and documentary – and scientists from any relevant discipline are welcome to apply. Each team must include at least one media outlet (lead applicant) and one research or academic institution (co-lead), including universities, based in a country associated with Creative Europe. Media, journalists, researchers, and/or research organisations from outside the Creative Europe can be part of the applying teams, as long as these already include one media and one research entity that satisfy the eligibility criteria. The grants intend to finance the production of investigative journalism work based on scientific evidence, with local, regional and transnational impact. The projects, lasting up to eight months, must address issues of public interest. In addition to funding, selected teams will receive mentorship, access to training sessions, and opportunities to participate in networking events with other grantees.
