The FRONTIERS Science Journalism in Residency Programme has selected ten science journalists to participate in its second round of residencies. The chosen candidates — Marta Abbà, Rina Caballar, Danielle Fleming, Will Grimond, Giorgia Guglielmi, Suvi Jaakkola, Tim Kalvelage, Thomas Reintjes, Senne Starckx, and Meera Subramanian— will spend three to five months in residency at European research institutions, working on their journalistic projects.

The residencies, hosted by institutions in Austria, Denmark, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain and the United Kingdom, offer a unique opportunity for fellows to explore frontier research. The journalists’ projects will delve into various issues shaping society with topics spanning climate change, technology, life sciences, health and medical journalism, data sharing, and space exploration.

Representing a mix of early-career, mid-career, and established professionals, the selected fellows originate from Belgium, Finland, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Each fellow will receive a grant of up to €6,000 per month to support their work.

Following the success of the first call, which selected seven science journalists in May 2024, the FRONTIERS programme now enters its second round. The first cohort of FRONTIERS fellows is currently undergoing their residencies, with projects exploring a broad array of cutting-edge science topics.

The second call for the FRONTIERS Residency Programme, which closed in September 2024, received 47 applications. The FRONTIERS project congratulates all applicants for their submissions and invites new and unsuccessful applicants to apply for the third call of the programme in 2025.
