MIT Summer Research Program: Summer 2027

Description

The MIT Summer Research Program offers an undergraduate research experience from 7 June to 7 August 2027. Participants work with faculty, with possible support from doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers. Participating departments cover a wide range of sciences, engineering, humanities and social sciences, depending on the available research areas. The programme combines seminars, graduate-school preparation, scientific writing and a final poster presentation. Announced support includes a weekly stipend, return travel to MIT, a meal subsidy and housing. The official page invites applications for the 2027 cohort by 19 January.
