Regrettably, the ACS IREU program in Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom has not received funding for summer 2012. While this news is unfortunate, we hope it will resume in the summer of 2013 so please check back next fall. In the meantime, visit the NSF REU search for a listing of other available undergraduate summer research programs. If you are interested in an opportunity in Germany, consider applying to the German Academic Exchange Service’s RISE program.
Please do not hesitate to contact ireu@acs.org if there are any questions, comments, or concerns regarding this news.
The ACS International Research Experience for Undergraduates (IREU) program gives undergraduate chemical science students an opportunity to pursue research at universities in Italy, Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Participating institutions are recognized as top producers of scientific knowledge.
Students spend 10 weeks working on frontier chemistry research projects under the guidance of faculty members and graduate student mentors to sharpen scientific skills, develop collaborations with scientists abroad, and experience the life and culture of a foreign country.
Up to $5,800 is awarded for travel, living expenses, insurance, pre-departure orientation, language, instruction, and presenting research at an ACS national meeting.
