The Robert Bosch Stiftung invites science journalists from Asia and North America to get to know the European science community. We want to spark their interest in European science and open up new vistas.

As one of its co-initiators, the Robert Bosch Stiftung has been involved financially and organizationally in ESOF since it was founded in Stockholm in 2004. Also in 2006, 2008 and 2010, the foundation provided funding and content input. ESOF is the European equivalent of the annual American Association for the Advancement of Sciences (AAAS) conference, the world's largest science event.

In science as elsewhere, journalists play an important role in making information available and accessible to a wider audience. Our program has two objectives: Firstly, we want to raise awareness about science among young journalists working for regional daily newspapers and interest them in making a career as a science journalist. Secondly, we want to broaden the knowledge of experienced science writers about scientific and research activities in Europe.

Travel grants for young journalists
The Robert Bosch Stiftung awards travel fellowships for attending the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences (AAAS) as well as to the Euroscience Open Forum (ESOF). The fellowships are awarded to young journalists working for editorial offices of German regional newspapers, radio stations or television.
