Summer Programs in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan
For U.S. Graduate Students in Science and Engineering
NSF 02-007 (Replaces NSF 99-152)
Deadline Date: 1 December 2001
SYNOPSIS OF PROGRAM
The Summer Programs in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan provide U.S. graduate
students in science and engineering first-hand research experience in
Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, an introduction to the science and science
policy infrastructure of the respective countries, and orientation to
the culture and language. The primary goals of the programs are to
introduce students to Japanese, Korean, and Taiwanese 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 programs will last approximately
eight weeks (from June to August) and are administered in the United
States by the National Science Foundation (NSF) with co-sponsorship by
the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
