IGERT International Sites Academic Internships
A unique and enriching aspect of the IGERT program is the opportunity for students to intern at international academic facilities.
Currently, 15 sites have been identified which have:
- Multiple potential advisors for the trainees
- Good accommodation proximal to the research sites
- State-of-the-art instrumentation or facilities
- Staff to train the IGERT trainees
- Host advisors comitteed to serving on the trainee's thesis committee
- Links to other reserach groups in the host country
