Young journalists probe climate change scenarios

A month before the UN climate change conference, RELATE is going behind the scenes at environmental labs near Rome, joining scientists working inter alia on high-res climate change scenarios for the Mediterranean and West Africa.

As part of ‘REsearch LAbs for TEaching Journalists’ (RELATE), seven European journalism students will visit the Casaccia Research Centre of the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA) from 9-13 November. Divided by groups, the students will tour various labs focusing not only on climate science, but also photovoltaics, electrical storage, and food genetics.

RELATE project brings scientists face to face with next generation journalists in a two-way learning curve. The reporters will shadow and interview researchers, write daily blogs and produce a final article, audio or video piece. This should demystify the research, be engaging, balanced and accurate, while exploring the possible impacts and benefits for society.

The young journalists will then pitch their work to mainstream and science media with the help of the European Journalism Centre. The programme objective is building bridges across Europe: between scientists, journalists and the rest of society. It is also a showcase for cutting-edge cooperation between the EU and candidate countries.

MORE LABS, MORE ROUNDS
RELATE project was launched early this month with the visit of five students to the Nanotechnology Research Center of the Bilkent University in Ankara (Turkey). Later this month, five more students will visit EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) in Switzerland.

A second application window is open until 30 November 2009, feeding the following rounds in March and November 2010. Journalism students, particularly from new member states and candidate countries, are encouraged to apply online at: http://relateproject.eu/
