The three summer programs (Summer Institute in Japan, Summer Institute
in Korea, and the Monbusho Summer Program) provide participants
first-hand experience in Japanese or Korean research environments, an
introduction to the science and science policy infrastructure of the
respective countries, and language training. The primary goals of the
programs are to introduce students to Japanese or Korean science and
engineering in the context of a research laboratory and to initiate
personal relationships that will better enable them to collaborate
with Japanese or Korean counterparts in the future. Each of the three
summer programs will last approximately eight weeks from late June
1998 to late August 1998.
For more information on the Summer Programs, including eligibility
requirements, program descriptions, and application materials, access

If further questions remain after review of these materials, please
