Radim Chvaja has been awarded the EHBEA’s Student Research Grant
Every year, European Human Behaviour and Evolution Association (EHBEA) is awarding a grant to support student research. Our Ph.D. student Radim Chvaja is one of its recipients this year.
The funding will allow Radim to study religious costly signalling in the cultural context of Maha Shivaratri pilgrimage in Mauritius, testing experimentally whether pilgrimage costs make the pilgrims more trustworthy as perceived by their peers.
