SUMMARY:13th Heidelberg Laureate Forum

The vibrant atmosphere of the event inspires a blend of scientific discussion and informal interactions among the participants\, setting the HLF apart from traditional conferences. Panel discussions\, lectures and workshops spur scientifically driven debate\, which is then balanced by a variety of social events\, permitting participants to pursue their discourse in an inviting environment. \n“Attending journalists will have the exclusive opportunity to interview renowned laureates from mathematics and computer science\, both in press panels and one-on-one. In addition\, they will be able to engage directly with some of the most promising young researchers from those fields. Journalists are permitted to take part in virtually all of the Forum’s scientific program elements as well as social gatherings in the evenings. Opportunities will also be provided for journalists to network and collaborate with their peers in the press corps. \n“Grants cover travel and visa costs as well as room and board during the stay in Heidelberg. \n“Journalists who do not receive a travel grant or who have missed the travel grant application deadline [of April 8] may nevertheless apply for accreditation to cover the Forum at their own expense.”

SUMMARY:DEADLINE: McGraw Fellowship for Business Journalism
DESCRIPTION:“The McGraw Fellowships\, an initiative of the Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY\, provide experienced journalists with a grant up to $15\,000 and the editorial support needed to produce deeply reported enterprise and investigative stories that delve into critical issues related to the global economy\, business or finance. Given the enormous changes in federal spending and policy priorities now taking place in Washington DC\, we are particularly interested in story proposals that examine the impact of these changes. Both freelance and staff journalists in all forms of media with at least five years’ professional experience are eligible. Journalists from diverse backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply. \n“Previous McGraw Fellows have explored a wide variety of topics — and you don’t need to be a business reporter to apply. Many have been generalists\, or cover beats such as the environment\, health care\, education. Others focus on inequality or corporate accountability.” \nDeadlines: \n\nApril 13\, 2026 for the Spring 2026 fellowships\nOctober 12\, 2026 for the Fall 2026 fellowships
