Grants for Researchers from the French Marketing Association (Afm)
To encourage international research collaborations, AEMARK and Afm have decided to fund research grants to help their members present joint common investigations in the partner association’s annual conferences.
The aim of these research grants is to support research collaborations between at least one AEMARK member and one Afm member. The collaborators will present a communication at the AEMARK and/or Afm Annual Conference. The presentations are aimed at providing constructive feedback from a diverse and experienced audience helpful in better positioning the research for maximum impact. As the final objective is to encourage common publication in internationally ranked marketing journals, any topic that is appropriate for potential publication in such journals is eligible.
AEMARK will fund three research grants of €500 (a maximum of one per person and paper) to help Afm members attend the AEMARK Annual Conference and present a communication resulting from their AEMARK-Afm joint investigation. At the same time, Afm will fund three research grants of €500 (a maximum of one per person and paper) to help AEMARK members attend the Afm Annual Conference and present a communication resulting from their AEMARK-Afm joint investigation. The grants are intended to fund the expenses of the researcher’s trip to the Annual Conference venue, and he/she must register in and attend the conference.
The call is directed towards AEMARK members and Afm members and is open to junior as well as to more senior researchers. Researchers who wish to obtain this grant must submit their papers or works in progress for the Conference within the time period established by the Conference Organizing Committee. The grant application will be made once the evaluation process has been completed and the paper or work in progress has been accepted. The presentation of applications for these grants must be made within 15 days from the communication of the acceptance of papers and works in progress.
If there are more than three applications per conference, a joint Scientific Committee consisting of 7 members, 4 from the association organizing de conference and 3 from the other association, will review all submissions. The procedure for awarding grants will be based on the quality of the work presented, taking into account its originality and contribution to the marketing area. To make the decision, the Committee will consider the reports of the evaluation process of the conference. The decision will be communicated to the authors in advance and will be made public at the conference. The decision of this jury will be final.
Authors would have to acknowledge that the research was funded by the AEMARK-Afm Collaboration Agreement in all publications resulting from the research.
