About this opportunity

Citadel, the US investment firm, funds selected students to attend the world's leading STEM conferences. The grant covers a full-access conference pass, round-trip airfare, hotel, airport transfers and a meal stipend, with Citadel booking travel directly through its agency rather than paying a lump sum. Recipients are also invited to Citadel-hosted dinners and recruitment events at the conference, which is the firm's stated interest in running the program.

What you'll do: ➤ Attend the eligible conference in person ➤ Present or participate actively where applicable (preference for paper submitters at research conferences) ➤ Engage with the conference program; no report or follow-up obligations afterwards

Open to students worldwide; no nationality restriction stated
Studying mathematics, computer science, physics, statistics or another quantitative field
Preference for applicants who submitted a paper when the conference publishes papers
