Northwestern University International Institute for Nanotechnology (IIN)REU
Hands-on research infuses the traditional undergraduate curriculum with excitement. To date, the IIN has provided 374 students with a glimpse into the life of a scientific researcher, as well as opportunities to meet and work with world-renowned scientists.
IIN REU participants engage in full-time research over a nine-week period in the summer (June 24 – August 23, 2019). Participants attend regular group meetings, that provide an opportunity to share their progress and gain a broad overview of a wide array of scientific projects. Additional activities include special lectures, a field trip to Argonne National Laboratory, an individual writing workshop, and a public speaking seminar.
At the end of the summer, each student completes a substantive research paper and presents their research accomplishments at a Closing Symposium.
REU participants receive a $4,500 stipend, round-trip airfare, a meal plan, and housing in Northwestern dormitories.
