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.

YoPA – Youth-centered participatory action for a healthy lifestyle

The YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa.  By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
