REU: Research Experience for Undergraduates

Research Experiences for Undergraduates - Summer 2008

June 2 - July 27, 2008

DIMACS/DIMATIA participants in Prague, Czech Republic: July 21 - August 6, 2008.

Application Deadline: January 31, 2008

DIMACS, with National Science Foundation sponsorship, has offered an REU program since 1992. There are four associated REU programs:

The DIMACS REU program offers projects mentored by DIMACS members.
The DIMACS/DIMATIA REU program offers projects mentored by DIMACS members, the program is extended by two weeks, and the last two and a half weeks of the program are spent at our sister site DIMATIA at Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic. Students selected to participate in this program generally exhibit strong interests in combinatorics.
The Rutgers Math Department program offers projects mentored by members of the Rutgers Mathematics Department.
The DyDAn REU program offers projects related to homeland security mentored by DyDAn researchers.

There is one application for all of these programs so an applicant can apply simultaneously for all the programs in which he/she is interested. The DIMACS REU, DIMACS/DIMATIA REU, Math Department REU, and DyDAn REU all offer the same stipend, housing and office accommodations. We've consolidated the organization of the programs to share a coordinator and to create a larger interactive group experience for the participants. The source of funds to support the students and the departmental staff that processes stipends and reimbursements are separate for the DIMACS, the Math Department, and the DyDAn programs.
