International Research Opportunities for Summer 2011

This list includes some Emory-specific content (e.g., IRES program) but otherwise is a great summary of research opps available to undergraduate students at any college or university. Check it out!

Emory's International Research Experience in the Sciences IRES

The IRES program supports Emory undergraduates in scientific research in international labs.  We help support students who are working with collaborators of their Emory mentors, or placed with an HHMI international scholar, or through a program like DAAD or the Pasteur Foundation.  Applications are due in Fall for the following summer.

Germany

The DAAD programs can support you while you are still a student (DAAD-RISE summer internships) or after you graduate (DAAD-RISE-PRO).  Internships are in a variety of natural science disciplines.  If you are an Emory student thinking about applying for a summer BEFORE you graduate, you should apply through the IRES program for more support from Emory.
