On and Off-Campus Work & Research

The Research Science Institute, established in 1984, is the first summer science program to combine on-campus course work in scientific theory with off-campus work in scientific research. Students work under mentors who are scientists, mathematicians, and engineers.

We are pleased to present some of the outstanding work completed by our students. under construction

On-campus classes are offered during the first week of the Institute. These are followed by four weeks of research internships. During the final week, oral and written presentations are made by all participants.

Academic courses - Leading professors from US Colleges and Universities present classes. Their purpose is to focus on cutting-edge methodologies in science and mathematics.

Research Skills - Top teachers expose students to technical skills required for research and provide useful training for the students' research projects.

Research Internships - Students' research internships are the core of the academic experience at RSI. Internships concentrate on explicitly defined, narrowly focused research problems. Eminent scientists and mathematicians supervise the projects. Research sites are located at MIT, Harvard University, Boston College, Boston University, Northeastern University, hospitals, and corporate research facilities in the Boston area.

Student-mentor matches are made by mutual interest and student ability. Each student becomes a member of the mentor's research group, learning how to conduct valuable research while contributing to the ongoing investigations of the group.
