During the EJF program year, scholarship recipients can spend an academic year in Berlin and – detached from their daily journalistic routine – work on an individual study project or a major research project. They have access to the full range of teaching and resources offered by Berlin’s universities. At the same time, the program facilitates intensive exchange with fellow professionals. Weekly discussion groups, cultural events, excursions, and an informational trip through Germany round out the program.

The European Journalist Fellowships are part of the Institute for Journalism and Communication Studies  at the  Free University of Berlin .
