Cohesion policy: Commission opens €1 million call for proposals for higher education institutions teaching journalism

The Commission seeks potential beneficiaries that will develop a curriculum and teaching materials for a course on the European Union and on EU Cohesion policy for journalism students, set up a deployment strategy, create a network of education institutions and implement the course.

Commissioner for Cohesion and Reforms, Elisa Ferreira said, “This call is an extraordinary chance to encourage academic debate about the EU and about Cohesion policy, as well as to improve the level of knowledge of students and foster cooperation between universities and other institutions in the EU.”

Proposals can be submitted by universities and other educational institutions teaching journalism at undergraduate and graduate level. Applicants must be located in an EU Member State and be accredited under the legislation of that country. The Commission will cover 95% of the cost of the project.

The deadline for application is 21 April 2022, 13:00 CET. The Commission expects to communicate the results of the call in June 2022.

Further details are available on the website of the Commission.
