REU
Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) at the Einstein Institute of Mathematics and the Racah Institute of Physics:
Spend your summer in a stimulating environment with peers who are equally excited by mathematics, and delve into cutting-edge research while personally mentored by a leading researcher in the field. You’ll immerse yourself in background reading in a particular field of interest, tackle problems and gain deeper understanding, draft results and present them to your peers at the program’s conclusion. And that’s not all!--In your spare time, you’ll enjoy the vibrant city of Jerusalem in the company of other international students in the Mathematics and Physics Departments at HUJI, including a series of social and academic activities tailored just for you.
