Alumni Grants
With around 3,500 alumni from around the world, IJP forms one of the largest international networks of media professionals, including many senior editors and leaders in the media landscape.
Beyond the fellowships, IJP fosters professional and personal connections among journalists. IJP alumni have the opportunity to apply for travel and research fellowships on selected topics, which are awarded several times a year.
Burns Research Grant / Holbrooke Grant
Alumni of all programs can apply for a Holbrooke Research Fellowship. The fellowship of up to 4,000 euros is intended to support extensive research projects on globally relevant topics. A transatlantic perspective should be part of the project. Applications are open to journalists from different countries working together on a project, but individual projects will also be considered.
The call is continuous until all funds are exceeded.
Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings
The 75th anniversary Nobel Laureate Meeting in Lindau brought together all Nobel disciplines, with around 75 Nobel Laureates and several hundreds of Young Scientists from around the world from 28 June to 3 July 2026.
This year, three alumni of the IJP network were given the unique opportunity to attend the annual Nobel Laureate Meeting in Lindau, exchanging ideas with leading scientific minds and reporting on state-of-the-art research. The grant covered travel expenses as well as room and board for the entire duration of the conference.
Details for upcoming fellowship opportunities will be published here in due course.
