This U.S.-Hungarian International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) project supports undergraduate students' research visits to Budapest, Hungary, for an immersive collaboration with Hungarian mentors and students. With overall direction by the Principal Investigator, Dr. Timothy Peelen of Lebanon Valley College, twelve U.S. students from the mid-Atlantic region, work in laboratories at Eötvös Loránd University guided by two lead Hungarian mentors, Drs. Zoltán Novák and Péter Kele. Prior to departure, all students prepare for their eight week research experience abroad during a two week orientation at Lebanon Valley College to learn about Hungarian culture and language, and for instruction in concepts and techniques related to fundamental applications of light energy, spanning organometallic and bioorthogonal chemistry. In Budapest, students work in the Novák and Kele laboratories on a cluster of activities centered around the theme of applications of light energy. While designed around this unifying theme, specific projects allow participants to pursue individual interests in the areas of inorganic, organic, photophysical, and biological chemistry. Each of the IRES undergraduate participants also gains experience with the application of chemical tools that can be used to manipulate the photophysical properties of metal complexes and fluorogenic probes for applications in photoredox catalysis and bioorthogonal chemistry, respectively.Overall, IRES activities at Eötvös Loránd University offer a valuable early immersive research experience that will prepare the undergraduate researchers to engage productively with international colleagues as they pursue their future careers. The P.I. will reach out to serve different underrepresented groups, including a commitment to select equal numbers of male and female participants while striving to include underrepresented minorities and students with disabilities. Participation in a rigorous research project as an undergraduate has been linked to important gains such as thinking and working like a scientist and clarification of career or graduate school plans. As a capstone experience for the program, IRES students will be strongly encouraged to participate in the Undergraduate Research Symposium in the Chemical and Biological Sciencesheld each October at Unniversity of Maryland, Baltimore Campus.

这个美国-匈牙利国际学生研究体验（IRES）项目支持本科生到匈牙利布达佩斯进行研究访问，与匈牙利导师和学生进行沉浸式合作。 在首席研究员、黎巴嫩山谷学院的蒂莫西·皮伦博士的全面指导下，来自大西洋中部地区的12名美国学生在两名匈牙利导师佐尔坦·诺瓦克博士和彼得·凯莱博士的指导下，在罗兰大学的实验室工作。 出发前，所有学生准备在国外为期八周的研究经验，在黎巴嫩谷学院为期两周的方向，了解匈牙利文化和语言，并在概念和技术相关的指示光能的基本应用，跨越有机金属和生物正交化学。 在布达佩斯，学生们在Novák和Kele实验室工作，围绕光能应用主题开展一系列活动。虽然围绕这一统一的主题设计，具体的项目允许参与者在无机，有机，生物物理和生物化学领域追求个人兴趣。 每个IRES本科参与者还获得了化学工具的应用经验，这些化学工具可用于操纵金属络合物和荧光探针的物理化学性质，分别用于光氧化还原催化和生物正交化学。IRES在Eötvös Loránd大学的活动提供了一个宝贵的早期沉浸式研究经验，这将使本科研究人员能够与国际社会进行富有成效的接触。同事们在追求未来的职业生涯。 私家侦探将为代表性不足的不同群体提供服务，包括承诺选择同等数量的男女参与者，同时努力包括代表性不足的少数群体和残疾学生。 作为本科生参与严格的研究项目与重要的收获有关，例如像科学家一样思考和工作，以及澄清职业或研究生院计划。作为该计划的顶点体验，强烈鼓励IRES学生参加每年10月在马里兰州大学巴尔的摩校区举行的化学和生物科学本科生研究研讨会。
