This is a joint undergraduate research program between Montana State University and two Norwegian counterparts, the University of Bergen, and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim.  The general area of interest in this program is global climate change with a focus on the issue of how we can address CO2 emmisions.  Thus, the four students who are chosen to participate in this program will spend eight weeks in Norway pursuing a research project (see Research Areas below) related to the issue of carbon management in collaboration with an appropriate Norwegian mentor.

Application Due Date: We will again be sending students to Norway during the summer of 2009.  We will announce the application deadline as soon as possible.
