Description:
The American Chemical Society (ACS) International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) program is a bilateral exchange that allows talented young chemical and materials scientists to spend a summer conducting research in another country.

Students spend 10-12 weeks working on frontier chemical and materials science research projects under the guidance of faculty members and graduate student mentors to sharpen scientific skills, develop collaborations with scientists abroad, and experience the life and culture of a foreign country.

Each year, approximately 6-8 students from the United States will be selected to conduct research in Germany through the program. Research in Germany is conducted in tandem with the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). All projects in Germany will be conducted in English, so you do not need language proficiency to qualify.

This program is for rising juniors and seniors pursuing a chemistry degree at a U.S. institution. Students must be either U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Students do not need to be a member of ACS nor is membership status a criterion used in judging applicants.

For more information, please visit the website. This grant is supported by the National Science Foundation.
