2025 Fields Undergraduate Summer Research Program
June 15 - August 15, 2025
Description
The Fields Undergraduate Summer Research Program (FUSRP) welcomes carefully selected undergraduate students from around the world for a rich mathematical research experience from mid-June to mid-August.
This competitive initiative matches a group of up to five excellent students with faculty from Fields Principal Sponsoring or Affiliate Universities, visiting scientists, or researchers in industry.
Students accepted for the program will have most of their travel and on-site expenses covered by the Institute. Most of the program's funding supports student expenses and all student placements are based at Fields.
Goal
To provide a high-quality and enriching mathematics research experience for undergraduates.
The project experience, quality mentorship, and team/independent work are intended to foster enthusiasm for continued research. Students work closely with each other and with their supervisor in a collaborative research team.
FUSRP 2025 is committed to creating an inclusive environment for mathematical research that actively supports and welcomes the participation of underrepresented groups. An equitable, diverse, and inclusive environment enables all scholars to reach their full potential and strengthens the quality and impact of research by bringing together multiple ideas and perspectives.
