2018 Fields Undergraduate Summer Research Program 

  _____  





Each year, up to 25 students are selected out of hundreds of applicants from
mathematics-related disciplines to participate in the Fields Undergraduate
Summer Research Program (FUSRP). The program was featured this year in an
article in the Globe and Mail
<https://beta.theglobeandmail.com/technology/science/torontos-fields-institu
te-tasks-math-students-with-real-lifeproblems/article36365016/> , which
praised the its focus on teamwork and real research problems.

The Fields Institute invites you to benefit from its 2018 FUSRP by
submitting your research project for consideration and potentially receiving
a group of top-ranked students to help with your research in the summer of
2018. 

This competitive initiative matches a group two to five excellent students
with faculty from Fields Principal Sponsoring/Affiliate Universities,
visiting scientists, or researchers in industry for a nine-week research
project in July and August. 

Your benefit: 
. Motivated students with excellent academic grades, often with previous
research experience. 
. The possibility to train and "test" a student for a subsequent Masters/PhD
project. 
. Funds from the Fields Institute to cover: 
- students' living and travel expenses, as appropriate. 
- supervisors' travel expenses to and from Fields. 
. Logistical and infrastructure support from Fields.
