Open Call for Applications

For the first time, the World Science Forum will be taking place in South Africa!

The open call and selection process will be exclusively managed by the World Federation of Science Journalists & SciCom – Making Sense of Science.

WHAT: Travel & Accommodation Grant Scheme for Journalists to attend the World Science Forum & Pre-Workshops in Cape Town, South Africa from Saturday 3rd to Saturday 10th December, 2022.
