The FRONTIERS Science Journalism Residency Programme has selected seven early-career journalists for its third round of residencies. Chosen from among 31 applicants, the new FRONTIERS fellows will delve into frontier research topics, from reproductive health, microbial life and the ocean carbon cycle to neuroscience, digital sovereignty and the physics of complexity.

For three to five months, the selected journalists will work alongside research teams across Europe, supported by a monthly grant of up to €4,000. The third cohort of FRONTIERS brings together journalists from Colombia, India, Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia, and the United States.

Since 2023, FRONTIERS has run two rounds, bringing together 16 journalists who completed residencies at research institutions in Austria, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
