EXPLORE: Experiential Learning Opportunity through Research & Exchange
EXPLORE is a research-focused online seminar in which students from Germany, Canada and the US work in small international research teams on hot-topics of modern cosmology, astro-, particle and gravitational physics.
With your peers from Germany, Canada and the US, you will work in small groups exploring and working on real research topics. Each group is being assigned a tutor with whom you will have weekly online meetings to discuss the project, to exchange your ideas and receive feedback.
The course will be initially guided by lectures, held by the professors in the mentors team, to provide the basic knowledge of the topics. Additionally, you will have Python programming tutorials to learn scientific coding or improve your coding skills.
During the seminar you will develop a research questions which you can use for a subsequent research visit. After successfully completing the seminar you can get nominated by the EXPLORE team for a GREP fellowship for an individual research visit in Frankfurt.
After completing the online seminar and research visit in Frankfurt you can meet your peers and mentors in the EXPLORE Summer school.
You can sign up for the in-person EXPLORE Summer School, which will be hosted at one of the partnering universities. The summer school not only provides interesting talks by outstanding scientists, but also local social activities to get to know your peers and mentors!
