Given the great success of the summer research program in Peking University (PKU) the last two years, the UCLA/PKU Joint Research Institute (JRI) in Science and Engineering will again offer scholarships to UCLA students for the 2012 Summer Research Program at Peking University in Beijing, China. The ten week program between June 25 and August 31, 2012 is designed for UCLA students to participate in advanced research in science and engineering while gaining valuable international experience during the summer period. Each student is required to work in a research lab fulltime with PKU faculty and graduate students on research projects jointly designed by their advisors at PKU and UCLA. They also have the opportunity to take 4-hour Chinese classes every week and to participate in various sightseeing tours in and around Beijing during the weekends. Apply now - deadline of application is February 5, 2012. For more information, please click here.
UCLA/PKU JRI holds the second annual research symposium to exchange the latest research results in JRI and simulate collaborations between the UCLA and PKU faculty members.
