This year at the Ettore Majorana Foundation and Centre for Scientific Culture in Italy the theme will be ‘Unveiling the Universe: when Science hits the News’. The aim of the School is to discuss how current advances have contributed to our knowledge of the Universe, while addressing the challenges of how to communicate complex but exceptional discoveries to the public.

There are 30 fellowships available for participants from an European country that offer to cover any school fees, meals, accommodation and even travel expenses to and from Erice (only for the arrival on 1 July and the departure on 6 July 2017) and 5 other fellowships accessible to participants applying from a non-European country, which cover the same expenses excluding travel.

The fellowships are aimed at young science journalists with at least three years of professional experience, working science communicators and students in a master program in science journalism/science communication.

Apply here for the 2017 edition until 3 April!
