Student Grants

The CARMA 2024 Conference proudly offers a grant program for students. This initiative aims to foster student participation in the areas of economics and social sciences, particularly focusing on research in Internet and Big Data.

Grant details

  • Eligibility: Open to students of any institution with a paper accepted for the conference, and to UPV students. Applicants must be currently enrolled in undergraduate, graduate, or Ph.D. programs.
  • Award: Grants cover the full conference registration fee. A select number of grants will also provide partial financial assistance for travel and accommodation expenses.

Application requirements

  1. Accepted paper. The student must be the major contributor to a paper accepted in the conference program.
  2. Letter of Recommendation: A recommendation letter from a faculty member or academic advisor stating that the student carries at least 50% of a normal full-time academic program as a registered student, and approximately what was the student’s contribution in percent to the paper.
