What
Milena Jesenská Fellowships are intended as an award for excellence and are directed at cultural journalists, with the term cultural being interpreted in a broad sense to encompass a wide variety of intellectual and artistic fields. However, applicants’ work may also be related to one of the IWM’s main research fields.
In cooperation with ERSTE Stiftung.
Who
The call for applications is open to professional journalists. The Fellowship offers journalists from across Europe (including Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey) time off from their professional duties to pursue in-depth research on a topic of their choice.
Candidates for the Milena Jesenská Fellowship for Journalists must have worked in print, broadcast, or online journalism for several years and must have an outstanding professional record. Applications by entry-level journalists or students will be rejected.
Candidates who have previously received a resident IWM fellowship must wait two academic years before applying for another fellowship. Recipients of a specific IWM fellowship cannot reapply for the same program.
