EADM Funding

EADM puts its membership fees back into the field through three funding schemes: individual travel, workshops in the years between SPUDM conferences, and a summer school for early-career researchers. Open a scheme to read the conditions, how to apply and the reports from past events.

Jane Beattie Memorial Travel Scholarship Sponsored jointly with SJDM, it subsidises travel between Europe and North America for scholarly activity in judgment and decision research.

For travel from Europe to the United States or from the United States to Europe.

The Beattie Scholarship is sponsored jointly by the Society for Judgment and Decision Making (SJDM) and the European Association for Decision Making. On behalf of both organizations, we invite applications for awards from the Jane Beattie Memorial Fund. The fund was established in memory of SJDM and EADM member Jane Beattie and her contributions to judgment and decision research.

The purpose of the fund is to provide scholarships to subsidize travel to North America or Europe for purposes of scholarly activity by a foreign scholar in the area of judgment and decision research, broadly defined. Attendance at the annual SJDM meeting or SPUDM meeting is one example of an activity that would be appropriate for support, but by no means the only one. All scholars outside of the destination are eligible to apply.

EADM sponsors the awards made to its own members, including student members, so applicants should be sure to indicate whether they are EADM members.

Workshop Grants Up to two workshops a year, each with up to EUR 3,000, to keep the field active between SPUDM conferences; applications are due by 31 January.

To stimulate activities in the two-year gap between SPUDM conferences, EADM sponsors up to two workshops or similar events per year, up to a maximum of EUR 3,000, to be decided upon per proposal.

The workshop has to meet the following requirements:

  1. The main organiser of the event must be a full EADM member.
  2. The meeting should be advertised on the EADM website and the EADM mailing list.
  3. EADM members should be offered a reduced fee for attendance.
  4. The organisers of the meeting should acknowledge the financial support of EADM in their advertisements and publications.
  5. The meeting should in principle be open to EADM members at a reduced fee, but the local organiser has the final say about the maximum number of participants.
  6. The organiser should submit a budget to the Treasurer of EADM, clearly indicating how the EADM money will be used.
  7. A report about the meeting, containing at least the abstracts of presented (main) papers, must be published on the EADM website.

Direct your application for funding a workshop to the Treasurer via email. Deadline for applications is 31 January. A decision will be communicated after the board meeting in mid-March of the same year.

Applications should include the title of the workshop/event, provisional date, location, organisers, background, aims and objectives, provisional schedule, itemised budget, additional sources of support, and references.

Past workshops

EADM Summer School A week-long residential methods course for PhD students and early post-docs, hosted roughly every two years by a European institution.

The Summer School is a week-long residential course for PhD students and pre- and early post-doctoral researchers, hosted roughly every two years by a European institution: so far Essex, Bonn, Amsterdam, Salzburg and Berlin. Its focus is methodological rather than topical. Past programmes have covered open science, replicability and reproducibility, cognitive and Bayesian modelling, process tracing and eye-tracking, and the design and analysis of decision experiments. Each edition is taught by invited faculty from across the association and concludes with a published report.
