The department of Materials Science and Engineering of Saarland University has close connections to the Material Engineering Center Saarland, a Steinbeis Research Center, the Fraunhofer Institute for Non-Destructive Testing, the Leibniz Institute for New Materials and some other reasearch centers, thus the journalists will get the information also from these institues. Please find enclosed the invitation from the University and a preliminary programme.

The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is offering fellowships for journalists to report on ongoing research in the geosciences. Successful applicants will receive up to €5k to cover expenses related to their projects, including following scientists on location.
