International: Research Experience for US Students at INRIA - REUSSI 2

REUSSI-2项目资助美国研究生在法国首屈一指的计算机科学研究所INRIA进行研究实习。该项目由美国国家科学基金会国际科学与工程办公室和计算机与信息科学与工程理事会共同资助。该项目每年将支持10至20名美国学生实习。每个被选中的学生预计将在INRIA度过至少两个月，最多六个月的夏季工作。INRIA向每位学生支付津贴，INRIA科学家在实习期间指导和指导学生的研究。INRIA还为学生在实习期间提供健康保险。美国国家科学基金会的资助涵盖了学生在法国期间参加年度夏季研究讨论会的旅费和相关费用。每年10月发布实习申请公告。这一呼吁也会通过电子邮件发送到拥有研究生研究项目的美国大学，包括那些来自弱势群体的学生比例很高的大学。每个申请人必须在申请之前联系发布实习机会的INRIA网站，以获得INRIA对申请的支持。此外，每个学生申请人必须由他/她的导师提名，并必须说明访问将如何提高他/她的研究生工作。每份申请必须包括对拟实习工作的简要描述。描述必须与INRIA科学家协商制定，并且必须包括声明INRIA科学家承诺在实习期间指导学生。提交的申请由REUSSI-2 PI在学生申请访问的INRIA网站代表的帮助下进行评估。REUSSI-2 PI将与INRIA国际关系办公室协商后做出最终选择。入选的学生和各自的INRIA团队将在12月中下旬收到通知。美国机构目前参与的计算机科学项目涉及计算机图形学、计算脑解剖学、关键软件系统的严格建模和分析、计算MRI、下一代无线网络、量子计算和海洋建模等领域的复杂问题。参与的学生有机会发展国际研究联系，这些联系可以在他们的研究生涯中进一步加强和利用。这些合作和学生交流有助于培养一种国际合作精神，通过高质量的思想交流，可以对一些更具挑战性的计算机科学研究问题产生重要的见解。

The REUSSI-2 project funds US graduate student research internships at INRIA, the premier Computer Science research institute in France. The project is made possible by co-funding between the NSF Office of International Science and Engineering and the Directorate of Computer and Information Science and Engineering. The program will support 10 to 20 US student internships each year. Each selected student is expected to spend at least two summer months and at most six months working at INRIA. INRIA pays each student a stipend and the INRIA scientists mentor and guide the student's research during the internship. INRIA also provides students with health insurance during their internships. NSF funds cover the travel costs and costs associated with getting students to the annual summer research colloquium held during the time they are in France. A call for internship applications is published in October of each year. The call is also sent via email to US universities with graduate research programs, including universities with a high proportion of students from under-represented groups. Each applicant has to contact the INRIA site that posted the internship opportunity prior to applying in order to obtain INRIA support for the application. Furthermore, each student applicant must be nominated by his/her adviser and must state how the visit will enhance his/her graduate work. Each application must include a brief description of the proposed internship work. The description must be developed in consultation with the INRIA scientists and must include a statement asserting that the INRIA scientists commit to mentoring the student during the internship period. Submitted applications are evaluated by the REUSSI-2 PI with the help of representatives from INRIA sites that the students apply to visit. Final selections will be made by the REUSSI-2 PI in consultation with the INRIA International Relations Office. Selected students and the respective INRIA teams will be informed in mid to late-December.The Computer Science projects currently covered by participating US institutions tackle complex problems in areas such as computer graphics, computational brain anatomy, rigorous modeling and analysis of critical software systems, computational MRI, next generation wireless networks, quantum computing, and ocean modeling. Participating students have the opportunity to develop international research links that can be further strengthened and leveraged in their research careers. These collaborations and student exchanges help to nurture a spirit of international cooperation which, through exchange of high quality ideas, can yield significant insights into some of the more challenging Computer Science research problems.
