With this project Journalismfund wants to stimulate in-depth science journalism in Dutch-language media in Belgium.

The programme offers grants to science journalists to work on projects that have great newsworthiness and depth but that cannot be realised in regular media. The projects should be original, innovative and time-consuming and must involve investigative reporting on science and its impact on society.

For who:
Professional journalists. The results of the research must be published in a Dutch-language medium in Belgium.

How much:
In 2026, there is €65,000 to distribute over two application rounds, which means approx. €32,500 per round. The grant programme is subsidised by the Flemish government.

Next deadline:
22 January 2026, 13:00 CET
For this grant programme, there are 2 application rounds scheduled in 2026:

• The first deadline will be Thursday 22 January 2026 at 1 pm CET.
• The second deadline will be Thursday 23 April 2026 at 1 pm CET.
