Students participate in an eight-week summer program sponsored by the University of Central Oklahoma and funded by the National Science Foundation. The first week considers aspects of the scientific process and experimental design before spending up to seven weeks on the island of Lesvos (Greece). We study aspects of the foraging ecology of solitary bees and honey bees in their native regions of the world.

Dr. Blake Aronson
Program Manager, ACS Student Communities

The ACS International Research Experience for Students (IRES) Program provides fully-funded opportunities for current chemistry sophomores and junior to conduct research in either Germany or Singapore over the summer. IRES includes additional professional development opportunities, and all expenses are covered by the program. More information can be found here.

Dr. Paulo Hidalgo
Georgia State University

Program: Mapping and Assessing the Seismic Hazard of the Guanacaste Tectonic Sliver, Costa Rica. The goal is to use GNSS velocity vectors and surface displacement measurements with InSAR to produce an improved seismic assessment for communities in the boundary of active fault systems. Each participating student will be in charge of achieving this goal for a specific study area region in a population center’s vicinity. More information can be found here.
