Pushing boundaries: Six Austin Peay students broaden their horizons through NSF program

From the historic city of Rennes, France, to ancient castles of Europe, Austin Peay State University (APSU) students have been charting new territories in scientific research and cultural discovery. Six dedicated APSU students have returned from a transformative summer participating in an international research project called the International Research Experience for Students (IRES) program. The program, funded by a three-year, $300,000 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), offers students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) the chance to engage in pioneering, cross-disciplinary research in international settings. Involved universities span the Czech Republic, France and Poland. The recent trip marked the program's second year, following a successful debut last summer involving five students.
