The International Journalists' Programmes (IJP) is a non-profit and economically as well as politically independent organisation for the promotion of young journalists. It was established in 1981. IJP is an association, registered in Germany at the local court in Koenigstein near Frankfurt/Main under reg. no. 8 VR 646.

Through its scholarship programmes, IJP supports journalists in two ways: Firstly, by setting the stage for new career opportunities and thus contributing to a more differentiated reporting of foreign affairs; and secondly, by promoting professional and personal ties between journalists.

With more than 3,000 journalists from all over the world, IJP builds one of the largest international networks of media professionals, including many leading figures of the media landscape. The exchange of ideas between these alumni and participants of recent programmes is an important aim of the IJP alumni activities.
