Description du projet
Mettre en relation les journalistes scientifiques et les chercheurs
Le journalisme scientifique est confronté à de nombreux défis, en particulier dans le domaine de la recherche exploratoire, qui est essentielle pour percer les mystères de l’univers dans toutes ses dimensions. En outre, il est nécessaire de renforcer l’interaction entre les journalistes et les chercheurs. Le projet FRONTIERS, financé par l’UE, vise à mettre en place un programme de soutien aux journalistes scientifiques européens, qui mettra l’accent sur les domaines de recherche exploratoires. Il a pour objectif de favoriser les possibilités d’interaction entre les institutions de recherche et les journalistes. Son programme de résidence respectera les principes de l’indépendance journalistique et proposera des activités de formation et du contenu pour promouvoir des collaborations constructives entre journalistes et chercheurs. Le développement et la mise en œuvre du programme seront supervisés par un bureau désigné qui apportera son soutien et offrira des services complémentaires de mise en relation.
Objectif
The overall objective of FRONTIERS is to establish a program supporting science journalists’ residencies in European research institutions through a financial support to third parties mechanism. The program aims to and contribute to tackling the challenges of science journalism, specifically in the highly challenging area of Frontier research, as well as increasing the opportunities of interaction between research institutions and science journalists. The residency program will be established based on the principles of journalistic independence and the need for coverage of frontier (as oppose to other types of) research. To ensure a smooth and successful operation, we will develop a coordination and support office (CSO) that will oversee the development and implementation of the residency program and the ongoing management and monitoring. The CSO will also provide support and complementary services including a general and frontier science helpdesk for journalists, researchers and staff from hosting research institutions, matchmaking services to help journalists find hosting institutions. Our project activities will be supervised and accompanied by a strong advisory board consist of actors from the areas of science and science journalism, ensuring the independency and credibility of the program. Resident journalists and researchers and research staff participating in the program will also benefit from training activities and content contributing to the creation of meaningful journalists-researcher collaboration and the generation of high-quality and credible science journalism products. During the project, we will also benchmark the FRONTIERS residency program to other available programs offering fellowships to science journalists, and implement best practices to ensure the quality of the program. Finally, we will explore paths towards sustainability the residencies through additional funding channels.
