Dear students,

On April 11, 2024, the 30th annual international student conference - Student Scientific Conference (ŠVA) 2024 was held at the Faculty of Economics of the Matej v Bela University in Banská Bystrica.

ŠVA 2024 offered students a choice of several sections to which they could submit their work depending on its focus. Through such activities, students could present their talent, analytical skills, creativity, as well as their opinion. ŠVA supports the development of creativity and research activities focused on economic sciences and its benefits for practice.

Members of the committees in the sections assessed all the papers, especially the topicality of the topic, the added value of the paper, the level of presentation, as well as other aspects. The best students from each section were rewarded.

The conference was intended for students of bachelor's and master's degrees. A special section was also created for high school students. Following the previous experience, the section entitled "Scientific Essay" continued, which was intended for students of university degrees at the Faculty of Economics of the Matej Bel University. In this case, too, the student could choose his/her own topic, after agreement with the selected consultant. The scientific essay aims to present the author's personal opinion on the developed topic, argue confirmation of the thesis and use relevant academic sources, studies and analyses.

We thank all participants for their participation and heartily congratulate them on the defense of their scientific works.
