Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) fellowships are awarded to undergraduates for participation in a ten-week summer program designed to provide unique research experiences, professional development, and increased awareness of materials science and engineering. Each student performs research in one of the four UMN MRSEC Interdisciplinary Research Groups (IRGs):Electrostatic Control of Materials, Sustainable Nanocrystal Materials, Hierarchical Multifunctional Macromolecular Materials IRGs, or one of the various MRSEC Seed groups.

PCCM invites the public to explore materials science through interactive activities with Princeton University researchers at Día de la Ciencia, a bilingual family program focused on nanoscience.

The Wisconsin MRSEC REU program offers advanced research opportunities and immersive experiences in materials science and engineering for undergraduate students each summer.

The International Center for Materials Resarch (ICMR) at UCSB awards International Research Fellowships to support research visits to non-US laboratories for graduate students, postdocs and junior faculty affiliated with US Institutions.

The NSF-sponsored REU program at Penn State gives undergraduate students from across the nation the opportunity to participate in frontier materials research at a major research facility.

The ¡MIRA! center and CDCM received a NSF PREM grant to enhance diversity in materials research through cross-institutional teams focusing on new materials and electro-responsive interfaces.

The University of Minnesota MRSEC will provide up to 25 full-time summer research positions to undergraduate students through the REU program.

CCAM will invite local two-year and four-year students to participate in the boot camp. Boot camp instructional content is available publicly each year after the REU program is completed.

The goal of APS CUWIP is to help undergraduate women continue in physics by providing them with the opportunity to experience a professional conference, information about graduate school and professions in physics, and access to other women in physics of all ages with whom they can share experiences, advice, and ideas.

Eureka! is a five-year program for girls in the Twin Cities, emphasizing STEM fields while fostering sisterhood and supporting high school graduation and post-secondary education preparedness.
