For the 2013 edition (May 25th-May 29th, 2013), the Erice International School of Science Journalism grants 30 fellowships for members of EU-countries.
Fellowships are aimed at science journalists, science communicators and students in science journalism and communication.
The selection requires:
- For science journalists: at least three years of professional experience working/freelancing for general or popular science media;
- For science communicators: at least three years of professional experience working in a scientific organization, science museum or science centre or as a free lancer in a position of press officer, curator, editor of (web) publications, organizer of outreach activities or similar;
- For students: being a student in a master program in science journalism or science communication.
Candidates should send their CV and a motivation letter in which they describe:
1. their plans for their professional future
2. why they think participating in the summer school would benefit their career
3. how they perceive the challenge of communicating on neuroscience – and notably magnetic resonance imaging, which is the theme of the summer school this year – in general and in their current or future position.
Fellowships will cover:
- The fee of the School
- Travel expenses to and from Erice
- Staying in Erice
The members of the selection committee are:
Fred Balvert, Rita Bertelli, Umberto Dosselli, Fabio Turone

The deadline for applications is March 1, 2013.
Applications which should reach us after this date will not be taken into consideration.
Good evening to all! So, all fellowships can only and exclusively be given to EU citizens? Though I’m a bit far from the Old Continent, I’d love to take part in the course. Could there be a possibility of non-EU residents joining in? Thanks a lot in advance!
Hi Meghie, as we write today in the post announcing the programme the school decided that fellowship applications from people living outside the European Union will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
