iREU Site: International Research Experience for Chemistry Undergraduate Students in Austria

该奖项由化学部（CHE）与国际科学与工程办公室（OISE）共同资助，支持锡拉丘兹大学（SU）和奥地利格拉兹的格拉兹理工大学（TUG）之间的国际本科生研究经验（REU）网站的更新，2008-2010年夏季。 美国计划将由苏教授卡琳·鲁兰特-森格和迈克尔·斯庞斯勒共同指导。 在奥地利，TUG无机化学研究所所长Frank Uhlig将负责运行TUG项目。12名美国本科生将前往TUG参加为期10周的化学研究项目。 招募的六名美国学生将获得NSF资金的支持，SU将支持另外六名美国学生。 此外，TUG将支持10名奥地利学生前往美国在SU做暑期研究。奥地利学生将被纳入锡拉丘兹大学的国内REU项目。 美国学生将能够选择无机，有机，物理，理论，分析，生物化学，放射化学或无机和有机材料的化学和技术领域的化学研究项目。 在格拉兹的学生活动是仿照国内SU REU计划。 在课程结束时，学生将口头和海报会议提出他们的结果。10月举行的一个顶点活动将使美国学生团聚，举行招待会和研讨会，他们将在会上描述他们的科学成就和文化见解。

This award from the Division of Chemistry (CHE), with co-funding from the Office of International Science and Engineering (OISE), supports the renewal of an international Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site between the Syracuse University (SU) and Graz University of Technology (TUG) in Graz, Austria for the summers of 2008-2010. The U.S. program will be directed jointly by Professors Karin Ruhlandt-Senge and Michael Sponsler of SU. In Austria, Frank Uhlig, head of the Inorganic Chemistry institute at TUG, will be responsible for running the TUG program. Twelve U.S. undergraduates will travel to TUG to participate in a ten week chemistry research program. Six of the U.S. students recruited will be supported with NSF funds and SU will support an additional six U.S. students. In addition, TUG will support ten Austrian students to travel to the U.S. to do summer research at SU. The Austrian students will be included in the domestic REU program at Syracuse University. U.S. students will be able to choose a chemistry research project in the area of inorganic, organic, physical, theoretical, analytical, biochemistry, radiochemistry, or chemistry and technology of inorganic and organic materials. Student activities in Graz are modeled after the domestic SU REU program. Near the end of the program, students will present their results both orally and in poster sessions. A capstone event held in October will reunite the U.S. students for a reception and a symposium in which they will describe their scientific accomplishments and cultural insights.
