Call for Projects 2019

This call for projects is now closed. Please refer instead to the IMI Research Grant.

Helping media build stronger ties with the public and enhance its engagement

With this new call for proposals, we are now accepting applications for projects related to the crucial question of the relationship between media organizations and their audiences. How to renew your audience while retaining credibility? How to establish a dialogue and a strong sense of trust with your community? How to foster greater mutual engagement between the media and the public?

Through this call for projects, we intend to defend the principle of applied research allowing for media partners to carry on their digital transformation and their quest for sustainable solutions, and for scientific institutions to pursue novel research in their domains.

For more information, including the terms of participation, submission process, evaluation criteria and timeline, please refer to the document below which is available in English or French.
