Programmes ERCThe FRONTIERS team invites research institutions and projects to express their interest in hosting a science journalist as part of the FRONTIERS Residency Programme, by joining the database of potential host institutions. The FRONTIERS public database is a starting point for applicants when identifying a host institution, though inclusion in the database is not required to be eligible as a host.

What is FRONTIERS?
FRONTIERS is the science journalism initiative funded by the European Research Council (ERC) to design a residency programme for science journalists wishing to experience an immersive period in a European research institution.
The FRONTIERS project is set to run from 2023 to 2027. During this time, the FRONTIERS team plans four calls to enable up to 40 science journalists to spend time with research teams, working on their own reporting ideas at institutions of their choice. Fellows and residency projects from previous rounds can be consulted here.
While backing independent science journalism, FRONTIERS hopes to contribute to the public trust in scientific institutions and in the scientific method itself, to ensure European citizens have access to reliable and accurate scientific reporting, to tackle misinformation and disinformation, ultimately contributing to more informed policymaking and a more scientifically literate society.

The MareGraph project, ‘Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph’, obtained funding under the Digital Europe topic ‘OPEN-AI – Public Sector Open Data for AI and Open Data Platform’. The project will increase the semantic, technical, and legal interoperability of three selected high-valued datasets (HVDs) all maintained by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), which is one of the four partners of the project. This will allow the onboarding of essential marine datasets in the Common European Data Spaces. As such MareGraph will provide a structural component in the digital transition of the marine landscape. The numerous impacts of the project will benefit our seas globally in old and new ways to come.
