What others say about RISE
"Participation in the RISE program is one of the best experiences I can recommend to students interested in preparing for a future in which efficient scientific and technological advances will be eminently dependent on international scientific cooperation.
The American Chemical Society-IREU program has provided 40 scholarships in the past 3 years for students to participate in the RISE program, and every single one of them has had a fantastic experience both personally and in the laboratory.
This program is an excellent gateway for students to expand their horizons, to start learning to work effectively across cultures and languages, and to develop relationships that may lead to future collaborations".

"The Université de Sherbrooke has participated in the RISE program for the last three years, and in that time, the number of students participating nearly doubled from year to year. This shows how much our students appreciate the program and how they pass their enthusiasm on to other students".
