FPD Science

With this project Journalismfund wants to stimulate in-depth science journalism in Dutch-language media in Belgium.

The programme offers grants to science journalists to work on projects that have great newsworthiness and depth but that cannot be realised in regular media. The projects should be original, innovative and time-consuming and must involve investigative reporting on science and its impact on society.
