Are there international REU equivalents for undergraduates?

[Ai52487963]

I've been looking into some summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) programs here in the US, but is there some kind of equivalent program for countries in Europe and elsewhere?

While I don't know if there's an organized group of them like the REUs (hopefully someone will know), I do know that many academic advisers have ties to foreign universities and institutes - you might want to ask your adviser if they can inquire for you. A friend of mine spent 2 summers at the Max Planck Institute in Germany (Garching) after a former REU adviser made a call for her.

Yes, there are international equivalents to the REU program in the US. Many universities and research institutions in Europe and other countries offer summer research programs for undergraduate students. These programs often have similar goals and structures as the REU program, providing students with hands-on research experience, mentorship from faculty, and the opportunity to collaborate with other students from around the world. Some examples of international programs include the DAAD RISE program in Germany, the JSPS Summer Program in Japan, and the Amgen Scholars Program in various countries. It is worth exploring these opportunities to gain valuable research experience in a global setting.
