The KPF-EJC Fellowship Programme was set up by the Korea Press Foundation and the European Journalism Centre to promote journalistic exchange and to foster dialogue between journalists from the Republic of Korea and the European Union member states. The 2009 edition of the KPF-EJC Fellowship Programme will take place in Korea from the 19 till 29 August.


The main goal of the visit is to promote a better understanding of South Korea. The programme will consist of lectures, meetings and interviews covering politics, economy, society and culture. A group-tour with various social and cultural activities will also be included.


EU journalists with at least five years' experience as full-time professionals are eligible to apply. The KPF-EJC will provide fellows with a payment in national currency equal to 500 euros to partially cover the flight ticket. Accommodation, local transport, interpretation and subsistence fees will be covered by the organisers.


The European Journalism Centre is responsible for the pre-selection and recommendation of candidates. The final selection will be based on the CV and the motivation letter. A recommendation letter from the editor will be considered as a plus.


In particular, the candidate should provide information about the media he/she works for, the current position within the media, main areas of expertise and the main reasons for applying to the Fellowship Programme.
