iREU Site: Building International Bridges for U.S. Chemistry Undergraduates

由美国化学会（ACS）的Bradley Miller于2008-2010年夏季组织和管理的国际本科生研究经验项目（iREU）由化学部（CHE）颁发。该iREU采用非传统的方式，通过美国化学REU站点网络将美国学生与整个欧洲的本科研究经验联系起来，并将欧洲学生与整个美国的本科研究经验联系起来。美国学生将通过与德国科学与工程学院（DAAD）及其在德国的科学与工程研究实习（RISE）项目、欧洲化学专题网络（ECTN）及其在ECTN成员国的合作机构的合作，被安排到欧洲各地。这些机构被认为是科学知识的主要生产者。2008-2010年，合作机构将包括里昂电子化学高等学院（cpe -里昂，法国）、佩鲁贾大学（意大利）和斯特拉斯克莱德大学（英国苏格兰）。将在全国范围内招募18名美国学生参加这个为期10周的iREU项目。15名美国学生将通过RISE前往德国，DAAD将派遣同等数量的学生前往美国。一名美国学生将前往佩鲁贾，一名前往里昂，一名前往斯特拉斯克莱德，这些机构将各派遣一名学生前往美国。参与者将与化学或其相关学科（包括生物化学，化学工程和化学生物学）的传统核心领域的研究导师和项目相匹配。所有ACS-iREU的参与者将被邀请在实习结束后的秋季ACS全国会议上展示他们的研究成果，并参加由iREU的教师、学生和相关国家的主要科学家参加的招待会。

This award from the Division of Chemistry (CHE) supports a new international Research Experiences for Undergraduates (iREU) organized and managed by Bradley Miller of the American Chemical Society (ACS) for the summers of 2008-2010. This iREU takes a non-traditional approach by connecting U.S. students with undergraduate research experiences throughout Europe and by connecting European students with undergraduate research experiences throughout the U.S. through the network of U.S. Chemistry REU sites. U.S. students will be placed throughout Europe through collaboration with the Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst (DAAD) and its Research Internships in Science and Engineering (RISE) program in Germany and with the European Chemistry Thematic Network (ECTN) and its partner institutions in ECTN member states that are recognized as major producers of scientific knowledge. For 2008-2010, partner institutions will include the Ecole Superieure de Chimie Physique Electronique de Lyon (CPE-Lyon, France), the Universita degli Studi di Perugia (Italy), and the University of Strathclyde (Scotland, UK). Eighteen U.S. students will be recruited nationally to participate in this ten-week iREU program. Fifteen U.S. students will be sent to Germany through RISE, and the DAAD will send an equal number of students to the U.S. One U.S. student will go to Perugia, one to Lyon, and one to Strathclyde, and these institutions will each send one student to the U.S. Participants will be matched with research mentors and projects within the traditional core areas of chemistry or its associated disciplines, including biochemistry, chemical engineering, and chemical biology. All ACS-iREU participants will be invited to present their research at the Fall ACS National Meeting after their internship and attend a reception bringing together the iREU faculty, students, and key scientists from the countries involved.
