Journalists

deeply have until

Science and Religion at the prestigious University of Cambridge in the
United Kingdom.
The
Templeton-Cambridge Journalism Fellowships in Science and Religion is now
in its second year. The programme will select 10 qualified broadcast,
online or print journalists from anywhere in the world for the 2006
programme. Fluency in English is a requirement.
Each fellows

Templeton Foundation is sponsoring the programme, which is aimed at
promoting more informed public discussion on science and religion.

various aspects of science and religion. This will be followed by five
weeks of private, independent study. The fellows then return to the
University for a Final Seminar, where they will deliver oral presentations
on their research.
The
programme encourages participants to write and publish articles or
editorials on their work. Research possibilities include the origins of
life, genetic engineering, or spirituality and health.
Applicants
