International Research Opportunities

AI Thread Summary
There is a notable interest in undergraduate research opportunities in Europe, particularly in Scotland and France, for students majoring in Math, Physics, and Astronomy. The discussion highlights a perceived scarcity of such programs compared to the US. Recommendations include exploring Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) type programs, with a specific mention of the RISE program in Germany as a valuable resource. Additionally, advice is sought on effectively reaching out to international universities and professors to inquire about potential research positions.
