IPAM RESEARCH IN INDUSTRIAL PROJECTS FOR STUDENTS (RIPS)

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: February 12, 2024

LOCATION: USA

The Research in Industrial Projects for Students (RIPS) Programs provide an opportunity for talented undergraduate students to work in teams on real-world research projects proposed by sponsors from industry or the public sector. Each student team, with support from their academic mentor and industry mentor, will research the problem and present the results, both orally and in writing, at the end of the program. 

ELIGIBILITY:

Encouraging the careers of women and minority mathematicians and scientists is an important component of IPAM’s mission and we welcome their applications. You must be at least 18 years of age to participate in either program.

RIPS is a program for students who are enrolled in or have just completed an undergraduate (bachelor’s) degree. Recent graduates who have received their degree no earlier than December 2023 may apply for RIPS 2024. Students with a strong background in mathematics and an interest in seeing how mathematics is used in the real world are encouraged to apply. Most of the projects have a significant computational component, so that proficiency (or at least some experience) in computer science, data analysis or numerical computation is valuable, but not necessary for everyone. Competition is high for the limited slots available. International students are eligible to apply for RIPS-LA.

Foreign students (studying in the US or abroad) are eligible

Graduating seniors are eligible

BENEFIT:

Travel (airfare or mileage reimbursement) to IPAM is covered, subject to certain rules and limits. Housing in the dorms and most meals are included. IPAM also provides limited partial support for future travel to select conferences, support for site-visit with sponsors, and visa sponsorship for selected international students. In addition, participants receive a stipend.
