A letter from the NSF
Dear Colleague,
The Summer Institutes in Asia and Australia 2004 program is complete and it
is now time to prepare for the 2005 program. One hundred and fifty US
graduate students became internationally experienced researchers by spending
eight weeks conducting research and experiencing life in Australia, China,
Japan, Korea and Taiwan. Congratulations to all of them for taking that
first step towards a lifetime of collaboration. With your encouragement
more students will learn about and apply to this program for the next cycle.
I would like to ask for your cooperation with the broad distribution of this
information to your colleagues, peers and various institution offices
responsible for advising students and promoting international collaboration.
The deadline for applying to the 2005 program is December 10, 2004.
