Short-term Research Internships at UT Austin 2024  – Beneficiaries & Hosts

The UT Austin Program remains committed to one of its pillars: fostering mobility by providing researchers with new opportunities to enhance their research work.

The year 2024 was no exception with a new Call for Expressions of Interest for Short-Term Research Internships at UT Austin being launched on March 21 and running until May 28, focusing on three areas: Advanced Computing; Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies; and Space-Earth Interactions. In this edition, 11 researchers spent up to three months at the University of Texas at Austin, benefiting from increased funding for an immersive experience at the American university.

Below you can find out more about the successful candidates, including the area of the program in which they carried out their research, as well as their host in Austin. At the end of their experience, they will be asked to submit their final visit reports.
