OPPORTUNITIES FOR U.S. CHEMISTRY UNDERGRADUATES IN GERMANY, FRANCE, ITALY, AND THE UK

Are you an undergraduate student majoring in chemistry, biochemistry, materials science or molecular biology? Are you interested in living and doing research in Germany, France, Italy or the UK next summer? If you are a current sophomore or junior with prior research experience, the American Chemical Society encourages you to apply for the ACS-IREU program. This program, funded by the US National Science Foundation (NSF), allows US citizens or residents currently enrolled at US institutions to participate in a 10-week research program at various universities in Germany or at one of the following institutions:

• CPE-Lyon (France)
• University of Perugia (Italy)
• University of Strathclyde (Scotland, United Kingdom)

Selected applicants will receive a generous award – up to $5,600 for air travel, living expenses, insurance, pre-departure orientation, language instruction, and presenting at an ACS National meeting.
