The Carta Institute For Young Researchers

our programs

Carta gives students critical academic research skills to reach new heights and achieve

The Carta Institute for Young Researchers is a highly sought-after opportunity designed to mentor and inspire the next generation of great academic researchers in international relations, business, and government.

How Our Research Fellowships Work

Domain Bootcamp
We begin right off the bat with 2 weeks of real-world interactive simulations. Fellows will analyze a global problem together with the guidance of our Mentors and Instructors and then prepare for the modules of the week ahead.

Pair with a Post-Graduate Researcher
‍We pair Fellows with a Research Instructor and Outcomes Manager, working towards their research paper. Fellows first publish a short-form article, then focus on their long-form research paper, meeting weekly.

Final Presentation and Publishing
Fellows work with their Outcomes Manager to ensure their accomplishment plan set at the beginning of the program is met. Fellows' research is published on academic journals and newsrooms.
