IRES: An American-Austrian Student Exchange for Chemistry Undergraduate Students

国际学生研究体验计划(IRES)为美国本科生提供了一个机会，让他们有机会体验外国科学和工程研究经验，并有可能建立未来的国际合作。凭借这一奖项，来自锡拉丘兹大学的Pi Karin Ruhlandt-Senger和合作者Frank Uhlig将与Frank Uhlig合作，在奥地利格拉茨的Graz技术大学(TUG)建立一个为期十周的研究交流项目，让美国和奥地利的本科生参与到化学领域。该计划旨在满足美国理科本科生在不损害其要求的学术科学课程的情况下获得国际经验的需求。在夏季的几个月里提供的资助，概述了允许美国化学学生在世界级的设施中参与紧张的、有意义的化学研究，同时在国际环境中参与不同的文化。这个项目将在全国范围内招收美国学生。锡拉丘兹大学将为自己的两名学生提供资金，他们要么来自代表性不足的社区，要么是第一代大学生，参与该项目。学生们将在TUG化学系的广泛研究机会中从事不同的研究课题。在不同的文化环境中进行原创研究的经验将使这群美国学生能够更好地进入劳动力大军，为在全球研究社区中运作和领导做好准备。

The International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) program provides an opportunity for US undergraduate students to have a foreign science and engineering research experience with the potential to build future international collaboration. With this award PI Karin Ruhlandt-Senge, and Co-PIs from Syracuse University, will collaborate with Frank Uhlig in the Institut fuer Anorganische Chemie at the Technische Universitaet Graz (TUG), in Graz Austria to create a reciprocal ten-week research exchange program involving American and Austrian undergraduate students in the field of chemistry. This program seeks to address the need for American science undergraduate students to have an international experience without detriment to their required academic science curriculum. Offered over the summer months, the grant outlined allows American chemistry students to be involved in intense, meaningful chemistry research in world-class facilities, while participating in a different culture in an international setting. US students will be recruited nationwide for this program. Syracuse University will provide funds for two of its own students who are either from an underrepresented community, or are first-generation college students, to participate in the program. Students will work on different research topics from the wide range of research opportunities in the chemistry department of TUG. The experience of conducting original research in a different cultural environment will allow this group of American students to enter the workforce better prepared to operate and to lead in a global research community.
