Programmes ERCThe third call of the FRONTIERS Science Journalism Residency Programme is open for applications. Up to ten early career-journalists (up to 5 years of professional experience) can be supported by a grant of up to €4000 per month, for a period of minimum three up to five months. The call deadline for the FRONTIERS Science Journalism Residency Program Round 3 is 6 May 2025, 17.00 (CEST). The fourth and last call of the SJRP is expected to open in spring 2026 with an indicative deadline of 7 May 2026.
All information on the third call i.e. programme objectives, eligibility criteria, application and evaluation procedure, financial support, Residency Program Guide and FAQs can be found on the dedicated webpage on the FRONTIERS website. The recording of the info day on the third call will be made available on FRONTIERS YouTube Channel /@FRONTIERS_media.
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 European Commission has opened a call for evidence to collect research and best practices on how to simplify its legislation, especially when it comes to data, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence (AI). This initiative is part of the Commission’s simplification agenda and efforts to create a more favourable business environment, by... read more
The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
