2014 East Asia and Pacific Summer Institutes program

November 04, 2015

The East Asia and Pacific Summer Institutes program (EAPSI) has been organised by the Academy, in collaboration with the US National Science Foundation (NSF), for more than a decade. The program enables US science and engineering graduate students to visit Australia for eight weeks during the American summer, to undertake research and build relationships with their Australian counterparts. The program is co-funded by NSF and the Australian Government Department of Education.

In 2014, the 11th year of the EAPSI program in Australia, the Academy is delighted to welcome 25 EAPSI Fellows to Australia in June. Congratulations to the following:
