Undergraduate Research Opportunities (URO)

Discover the world of intensive research in STEM subjects with Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) programs. These exciting opportunities, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), typically take place over the summer, lasting for 10 weeks.

REU programs can be found at universities, both nationally and internationally, and also virtually. Each program hosts around 10-15 students, providing a supportive and collaborative research environment.

Participants in these programs can look forward to receiving stipends for their work, accommodations, and travel expenses. This support allows students to fully focus on their research without financial worries.

For students at Dortmund University, there's an added advantage. They can apply to summer research programs and exchanges in cooperation with institutions like Ruhr University Bochum and University of Duisburg-Essen, especially within the University Alliance Ruhr framework for research collaborations and postdoc career development programs.

So, if you're an undergraduate student looking to dive deep into a research project this summer, consider applying for an REU program. It's a fantastic opportunity to gain valuable research experience, make connections in your field, and contribute to groundbreaking discoveries.
