Subject: Call for applications for the European Journalism-Fellowships

Dear Colleagues,

As the Communications Officer of Freie Universität Berlin's North American liaison office, I am pleased to share with you an exciting call for applications for the European Journalism Fellowship.

The European Journalism-Fellowships at Freie Universität Berlin is a program for mid-career journalists, designed to give participants the opportunity to take a two-semester leave from their professional positions and spend a sabbatical year in Berlin to work on a major research project. Journalists from all European countries, from Russia, from the United States of America and from the Arabic region are invited to apply for a fellowship.

Each fellow pursues a custom-made program that is organized around a specific project defined by the applicant: an individual journalistic research project, the results of which will later be published. The objective of studies in Berlin is to broaden professional knowledge and specialized expertise while building upon previous journalistic experience. Fellows are free to take advantage of course offerings at the Berlin universities, and to participate in events organized by other scholarly and cultural institutions in the German capital. At the same time, journalists have an opportunity to meet international colleagues.

The European Journalism-Fellowships were modelled after well-established and highly regarded fellowship programs for American journalists, such as the Nieman Fellowships at Harvard University. In Europe, the "sabbatical" offered in the framework of the EJF-program, with its European and transatlantic focus, represents a hitherto unique opportunity for journalists.

The website for the program is: http://www.polsoz.fu-berlin.de/en/kommwiss/institut/journalistenkolleg/ejf/index.html  and the closing date for applications is February 28, 2015

We thank you in advance for your help in distributing this information to your members and interested journalists (e.g. by your online-newsletters) and/or post the information on your website, preferably with a link to our homepage (www.ejf.fu-berlin.de<http://www.ejf.fu-berlin.de>). All documents for the application are in the download section. http://www.polsoz.fu-berlin.de/en/kommwiss/institut/journalistenkolleg/ejf/downloads/index.html

If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact the EJF team via email toejf at zedat.fu-berlin.de<mailto:toejf at zedat.fu-berlin.de> or using the information available here: http://www.polsoz.fu-berlin.de/en/kommwiss/institut/journalistenkolleg/ejf/kontakt/index.html

With warm greetings from New York,
Priya Nayar
