Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site Program in Environmental Implications of Nanotechnology
The Duke led Center for the Environmental Implications of NanoTechnology (CEINT) hosts a Center-wide Research Experience for Undergraduates Program (REU) funded by the National Science Foundation. The REU program is hosted by four CEINT partner institutions: Duke, Virginia Tech, and Carnegie Mellon Universities as well as the European Center for Research and Education in Geosciences and the Environment (CEREGE) in Aix-en-Provence, France. This REU provides students with opportunities to participate in their own original research projects at these placement sites with a focus on the environmental impacts of nanotechnology. This 10 week summer REU program offers a paid stipend and covers students housing and travel to research sites. To learn more and apply, visit: http://ceint.duke.edu/reu or contact Dr. Glenda Kelly- Associate Director for Assessment and Outreach-CEINT atglenda.kelly@duke.edu
