SUMMARY:CIJ Webinar Series: Investigating the Climate Crisis With Results
DESCRIPTION:“This 3-series webinar brings to the fore specific areas needed for journalists and researchers to move from typical reporting of environmental and climate events to investigations that drive impact. \n“Over the last four years\, we’ve learned a lot about how journalism can get results in pushing for climate progress and addressing injustice. Through the Open Climate Reporting Initiative (OCRI) we’ve empowered hundreds of frontline reporters in 58 countries with cutting edge skills for investigative research and compelling stories. \n“Join us to hear more from carefully selected expert speakers who will share their knowledge in biodiversity and ocean reporting\, essential preparation for covering COP\, and methods to connect security\, conflict & climate solutions. This webinar series builds on our January webinar From Skills to Shifts: How Climate Investigations Get Results and you’ll gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to interrogate certain thematic areas towards enabling accountability and action while staying ahead in the discourse.” \n\nSept. 10\, 2026: Focus on Biodiversity & Ocean reporting\nOct. 1\, 2026: Preparing for COP31\nNov. 5\, 2026: Connecting Security\, Conflict & Climate Solutions

SUMMARY:DEADLINE: The Invisible Life Grant
DESCRIPTION:“This programme supports cross-border teams of professional journalists and/or news outlets investigating issues related to farm animal welfare and European interests\, both within and beyond Europe. \n“This is not simply an animal welfare story. It connects to regulation and supply chain transparency\, to scientific research on animal cognition and sentience\, to public health\, and to the environmental pressures that intensive livestock and fish farming place on ecosystems. Yet it attracts relatively little journalistic attention\, and even less philanthropic or research funding. \n“Two application rounds are scheduled for this grant programme in 2026.” \nDeadlines: \n\nAugust 27\, 2026\nOctober 29\, 2026\n\n“The total available amount per call to be distributed among all supported investigations is €150\,000. \n“The grant can cover working time and expenses such as logistics\, travel\, insurance\, access to legal support\, translations\, access to technology and data sets\, etc. \n“Next to financial support\, teams can also apply for an experienced mentor to provide assistance with either the focus of the investigation or the need for competences in a specific skill.” \n\nAnnouncement\nInfo webinar: June 30\, 2026 @ 2-3 p.m. CET // 8-9 a.m. EDT.

SUMMARY:Prep Yourself to Cover COP31 — From Turkey and Remotely
DESCRIPTION:“UN climate summits are all but synonymous with low expectations\, but there are concrete reasons why COP31 could be different. Held in Turkey from November 9 to 20\, COP31 will test the power of a potential economic superpower\, the 80-plus countries in the ‘coalition of the willing’ that was established in Santa Marta\, Colombia\, earlier this year that is refusing to allow petro-states to continue vetoing a global phase out of fossil fuels. COP31 also takes place days after US elections that nonpartisan experts project will cost President Donald Trump his rubber-stamp control of the US Congress. \n“As journalists prepare to cover COP31\, whether on site or remotely\, hear and discuss the key issues and controversies and how to tell the story so it lands with your audience.” \n  \n

SUMMARY:Public Health Journalism: Data and Sourcing in Public Health Reporting
DESCRIPTION:“As federal data becomes harder to access — whether through resource constraints\, shifting priorities\, or outright disappearance — the challenge for journalists isn’t just analysis\, it’s access. \n“Join the National Press Club Journalism Institute for a free training webinar designed for reporters navigating a rapidly changing data landscape\, where the reliability\, availability\, and transparency of public health information can no longer be taken for granted. \n“Featuring public health experts\, this session will surface trusted pathways to data at the local\, regional\, and state levels while offering practical guidance on how to validate and use it responsibly. \n“We’ll explore how to identify credible data sources beyond federal agencies\, verify what you find\, and responsibly incorporate emerging tools — including AI-assisted analysis — without compromising rigor. The focus is practical: how to keep your reporting grounded in evidence\, even when the evidence is harder to find.”

SUMMARY:DEADLINE: HITS Journalist in Residence Program
DESCRIPTION:“Our institute offers a paid stay for experienced journalists who focus on natural science\, mathematics\, or computer science. The “Journalist in Residence” can stay anywhere from three to six months to engage with our scientists and gain insight into our research. The openings take place annually. \n“Our goal is to offer journalists the opportunity to familiarize themselves with several areas of research – depending on their interests – and to deepen their technical knowledge without the pressure of daily business. We also aim to encourage these journalists to learn more about the methods and possibilities of so-called ‘data-driven science.’ Another objective of the program is to encourage dialogue between journalists and researchers. The daily contact with the researchers enables journalists to gain a better understanding of the way research works and of the researchers’ ways of thinking.” \n\nRemuneration: EUR 6\,000 per month

SUMMARY:Act Local: SciComm As a Bridge Between Community and Government
DESCRIPTION:“When the science is critical\, how can you engage at the local level to make sure it’s not lost? \n“Many issues at the local level are rooted in science and technology\, and elected officials need accurate information for informed decision making. But it’s not just about decision making. Local policy has community-wide impacts and should be a multi-level system where public representatives\, technical experts\, and government officials all have an active role in the conversation. \n“As science communicators\, we are primed to help thread the needle between these groups. Join this panel discussion to understand different ways you\, as a science communicator\, can engage locally to make a lasting impact.” \nCost: Free for ASC members; $5 for nonmembers.
