(pending funding)

The American Hungarian Research Experience in Mathematics is a partnership between Valparaiso University and the University of Debrecen to engage undergraduate students in mathematical research.  During the summer of 2008, faculty from the University of Debrecen will be visiting Valparaiso University to lead research projects.

The AHREM program is looking for exceptional students from undergraduate institutions. We encourage applications from first generation college students, minority students, and women. Being committed to study mathematics at the graduate level is not a prerequisite for participation.
