The Kupcinet - Getz Science School
for International and Israeli Students
for International and Israeli Students
The Kupcinet-Getz Science School was established in 1971 in memory of Karyn Kupcinet by her parents, the late, Mr. and Mrs. Irving Kupcinet of Chicago, Illinois, USA and expanded in 2001
in memory of Emma and Oscar Getz, through their two co-executors: Mr.
William Getz and Mr. Ralph Silver.
The Feinberg Graduate School administers the program.
The Weizmann Institute of Science's annual Kupcinet-Getz International Science School will accept a select number of outstanding undergraduate students to participate in research projects in mathematics, physics, chemistry and life sciences during the summer of 2011.
Participants designate the research preferences of their choice from a descriptive list of research projects at the Institute. Click on Current Research Projects and follow the links to the Faculties and Departments of your interest. The students study under the guidance of Scientific Personnel during their summer holidays, participating in the research project to which they have been assigned.
At the end of the program, students participate in a mini-symposium, deliver a 10-minute presentation describing their study and submit a written abstract. These abstracts are then combined into a book, which is mailed to each participant.
The program is for undergraduate university-level students only, who have completed at least one year of study. Students in their final year may apply for the summer immediately after graduation. Students may not apply if they have already graduated university at the time of application.
| Duration of program: | 8-10 weeks |
| Accommodation: | Please note that accommodation arrangements are limited |
| Allowance: | Participants will receive a modest allowance (~NIS 500 per week) |
Students from overseas must have a grade point average of at least 3.6 out of 4.0 or the equivalent.
