The organisers of Europe’s largest general science event, EuroScience Open Forum, invite journalists from around the world to apply for media travel grants. It is expected that 250 media representatives will be at the science forum in Copenhagen from 21-26 June 2014.
The slogan of EuroScience Open Forum 2014 in Copenhagen is ‘Science Building Bridges’. One of the main objectives of the event is to build links between the media and the research community by providing a platform where journalists can discuss and report on the latest scientific developments.
EuroScience Open Forum 2014 (ESOF2014) will offer an extensive media programme for journalists, editors, bloggers and social media operators with six days of activities in The Carlsberg City District, where both the science forum and the festival Science in the City take place.
To secure that journalists from a broad range of news organisations take part, ESOF2014 has announced a Media Travel Grant Scheme. The call for applications for the grant has now opened – to read more please go to http://esof2014.org/media-room/media-travel-grant.
