Reporting can take place before, during or after the BERLIN SCIENCE WEEK (1–10 November 2021).

APPLICATION PROCESS
A jury of scientists and communications experts will choose and inform the successful candidates by October 8, 2021. Unfortunately, due to the high number of anticipated applications unsuccessful applicants will not be notified.
Travel to Berlin is not necessary as most of the events will be streamed online. If journal­ ists would like to organize their own stay, the research grant already includes allowances for living and travel expenses, no further reimbursement will be made by The Falling Walls Foundation. The Falling Walls Foundation is not able to act as an inviting organisation for any visa processes and does not offer any accommodation.
There is no legal claim to the scholarship. Applications received after 24 September 2021 will not be considered.
