Please do not wait till the very last days. The applications must be sent as usual via national associations: name, affiliation with media, e-mail, mobile tel.»

Hello,
What are the selection criteria and who does the selection- the organizers or the national representatives?
Thanks!
Hello!
Please tell me if journalists from Moldova can apply for a scholarship?
Hi Ilona,
I am sorry but these scholarships are reserved to members of national science journalists’ associations belonging to EUSJA.
If you belong to a National Science journalists association you might invite them to consider joining EUSJA, to benefit from the next proposals.
