Are there international REU equivalents for undergraduates?

AI Thread Summary
Summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) programs are prevalent in the US, but equivalent opportunities exist in Europe and other regions, though they may not be as organized. Academic advisers often have connections with foreign universities and can assist students in finding research opportunities abroad. For instance, a student successfully secured positions at the Max Planck Institute in Germany through a recommendation from a former REU adviser. Engaging with academic advisers is a recommended strategy for exploring international research experiences.

A friend of mine spent 2 summers at the Max Planck Institute in Germany (Garching) after a former REU adviser made a call for her.
 

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
