EICOS offers European science journalists from the print and broadcast media the opportunity to gain first-hand experience of working in a scientific laboratory. In 1992 EICOS obtained support and funds from major agencies, and in the Spring of 1993 twelve of the 58 applicants were accepted as EICOS Fellows. They worked during April-May 1993 at the Max Planck Institutes (MPI) for Biochemistry and for Psychiatry near Munich, Germany, at first on a one-week programme of laboratory exercises, demonstrations and lectures. Those Fellows staying for a longer period then participated in the daily life of the host laboratories. They also gave lectures to the MPI scientists on the problems of reporting science to the public. First evaluations of the experience by the Fellows and their laboratory hosts were generally positive, and plans for an expansion and reinforcement of the programme are now being considered.
