Each application must have a Principal Investigator (PI) who is affiliated with an accredited university in one of the 38 OECD Member Countries (see list here). The PI must be eligible to hold grants under their name at their accredited university; this may include, e.g., faculty, postdocs, or research scientists (depending on the institution). Co-Investigators can be located outside OECD Member countries and can be affiliated with non-research institutions, and indeed multi-country and multi-sectoral collaborations are encouraged. However, co-Investigators cannot be affiliated with an organization on the Consolidated Screening List) or an organization in a sanctioned country (see FAQ for additional information).
Current members of the Climate Change AI Board of Directors and Climate Change AI staff cannot apply to this grant as a PI, and they may not receive funds towards their own salary. Program Chairs and Meta-Reviewers for this grant may not apply or receive funds in any way (however, Reviewers may, and conflicts of interest will be appropriately managed during the review process).
We do not fund research activity that is currently funded by other grant programs. If other grant proposals for the same project have been submitted and/or are under consideration, the relation of the present proposal to those other proposals needs to be clearly explained. If the proposal is selected for funding, no aspect of a project should be double funded by other funding bodies.

IJP German-Northern European Programme 2024
NORTHERN EUROPE / GERMANY
The German-Northern European Programme sees itself as a forum for dialogue between the five Nordic and three Baltic states and Germany. It was launched in 2000, initially with the five Nordic countries Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. Since 2015, the exchange has been expanded to include the Baltic countries Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The programme thrives partly on the fact that Germans’ interest in the political systems and social developments in Northern Europe remains high. Conversely, Northern Europeans and Balts are increasingly interested in Germany – as a major trading partner, but also as a cultural and political source of inspiration.
The programme comprises a total of up to 22 fellowships. While the participants from the Nordic and Baltic states visit a German editorial office, eleven German fellows travel to one of the eight Nordic and Baltic countries.
The introductory conference in one of the capitals brings together the participants of the programme. In discussions with leading representatives from politics, business and society, the journalists can learn about current topics and about German-Northern European-Baltic cooperation. At the end of the programme, the fellows come together again in Berlin for a closing event to exchange views on their working stays abroad and to explore further research together.
APPLICATION
Applications are open to journalists between the ages of 18 and 45 who work as freelancers, trainees or editors in one of the above listed countries. Language skills in German are not a prerequisite for applications from Northern Europe. A working knowledge of English is expected. Further details on the application process can be found in the current call for applications.
