The National Science Foundation, who makes REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) possible, gives undergraduates the opportunity to join research projects for the summer. This allows students to experience first-hand how basic research is carried out, and to contribute consequentially.

The Department of Chemistry at Syracuse University offers two separate NSF funded research programs, one at Syracuse University, and a second at the University of Technology in Graz, Austria. For more information about our program in Austria, please visit the iREU Web site.




Current Session Information: June 2, 2008 - August 8, 2008

Stipend: Each participant will receive a summer scholarship of $4,000.

Benefits: All participants will receive university housing at no additional expense in addition to a travel and conference reimbursement (if applicable).

Research Areas: Students have the opportunity to do research in any of the following areas: Inorganic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Solid-State Science, Chemical Physics, Surface Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Organometallic Chemistry, Materials Science, X-ray Diffraction, and others.

Eligibility: The program is open to all students who have completed their first year of study and who have a serious interest in chemistry. Most students will have completed their junior years, although talented students with less experience will also be considered for acceptance in the program.
