AIFARMS

Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU)

The Center for Digital Agriculture, AIFARMS, and CROPPS are co-hosting a 8-week (June 2 – July 26, 2022) on-site summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. This program will bring together students, particularly those from underrepresented communities to work on cutting-edge projects. Students will work on specific research projects under the guidance of a paired research mentor. This is a paid opportunity for students to get a hands-on novel research experience in technologies to address global agriculture challenges.
