Program Overview
The University of North Carolina at Greensboro and Guilford College invite applications to the National Science Foundation (NSF) funded International Research Experiences for Undergraduates program in England during the summer of 2023 (pending NSF approval). At least eight students from colleges and universities in Greensboro, NC as well as from primarily undergraduate institutions nationwide will participate. Students will spend nine weeks doing research at the University of Bristol or the University of Bath in England. In addition to the opportunity to undertake cutting edge research in organic and organometallic chemistry at one of two extremely well-equipped, major research universities in the UK, students will be provided with a first class international experience.

Bristol, one of England's core cities, is situated 115 miles west of London. With its population of 400,000, it is one of the centers of culture, education and employment in the region. The city is famous for its music and film industries. In 2005 the Chancellor of the Exchequer recognised Bristol's ties to science and technology by naming it one of three "science cities", and promising funding for further development of science in the city. The city has a history of scientific achievement, including the discovery of laughing gas and significant contributions to quantum mechanics.
