2006 East Asia and Pacific Summer Institutes (EAPSI)
The EAPSI provide U.S. graduate students in science and engineering first-hand research experience in Australia, China, Japan, Korea, or Taiwan; an introduction to the science and science policy infrastructure of the respective location; and orientation to the culture and language. The primary goals of EAPSI are to introduce students to East Asia and Pacific science and engineering in the context of a research laboratory and to initiate personal relationships that will better enable them to collaborate with foreign counterparts in the future. The institutes last approximately eight weeks from June to August and are administered in the U.S. by the National Science Foundation. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) co-sponsor the Summer Institute in Japan. The application deadline is 7 December 2005. Contact the NSF for more information.
