REU Site: An International Research Experience for Chemistry Undergraduate Students in Austria (iREU)

在这个国际REU网站由化学部和国际和综合活动办公室（OIIA）的国际科学与工程（伊势）部分资助，这两个部门都在国家科学基金会，锡拉丘兹大学的Karin Ruhlandt和Michael Sponsler教授将监督六名美国学生的指导研究参与，每年在全国范围内招募，在两所奥地利大学中的任何一所为期十周，格拉兹技术大学和格拉兹卡尔弗兰茨大学。这些机构将资助锡拉丘兹大学类似数量的奥地利研究生参与研究。研究交流计划，开始于2005年与NSF的支持，为学生提供研究经验和强烈的文化沉浸的机会。这些美国学生还将在返回美国三个月后参加锡拉丘兹大学的一个顶点活动。他们将团聚在他们的荣誉招待会和研讨会上，他们将描述他们的科学成就和文化见解。该计划的更广泛的影响包括学生对他们的经验提供的国际科学的技术和非技术方面的深入见解，并为他们成功地操作和担任全球科学竞技场的领导者做好准备。国际接触的好处也将增加到学生和其他成员的化学系在格拉兹和锡拉丘兹。参与的学生将发展一些持久和有益的国际联系。学生们所做的研究也将在会议上发表，并在期刊上发表。

In this International REU Sites funded by the Chemistry Division and the International Science and Engineering (ISE) Section of the Office of International and Integrative Activities (OIIA) both at the National Science Foundation, Professors Karin Ruhlandt and Michael Sponsler of Syracuse University will oversee the mentored research participation of six American students, recruited nationally each year, for ten weeks at either of two Austrian universities, the Technical University of Graz and Karl Franzens University of Graz. These institutions will fund the research participation of a similar number of Austrian research students at Syracuse University. The research exchange program, begun in 2005 with NSF support, provides the students both research experience and opportunities for intense cultural immersion. The American students will also attend a capstone event at Syracuse University three months after their return to the US. They will be reunited for a reception in their honor and a symposium in which they will describe their scientific accomplishments and cultural insights.The broader impacts of this program include the students' intimate insights into the technical and non-technical aspects of international science provided by their experience and preparing them to successfully operate and serve as leaders in the global arena of science. Benefits of international exposure will also accrue to students and other members of the chemistry departments in both Graz and Syracuse. Participating students will develop a number of lasting and useful international contacts. The research done by the students will also be presented at conferences and published in journals.
