The fellowship is aimed at freelance journalists and those based at local and national media and news agencies.  
 
In two 14-day blocks, the programme provides networking and research opportunities as well as insights into the German school system, state and federal policies, the current state of research as well as contacts to schools, editorial offices, educational facilities, political institutions and much more.  
 
The application phase begins on January 8, 2024.  

As an expert on issues facing education and higher education, Nina Grunenberg helped shape academic journalism in Germany. She once said: “Journalists need to know their subject to ask the right questions (especially the impertinent ones).” 
 
The programme launched for the first time in May 2023. Support has been provided by the Schöpflin Foundation, the Wübben Stiftung Bildung and the ZEIT Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius.
