Candidates who would like to participate are encouraged to submit their applications on or before April 14, 2025.

The Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) has announced that registrations are now open for the 2025 Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Programme. This initiative aims to cultivate the next generation of Emirati space science professionals by providing hands-on research opportunities alongside leading experts in the field.

The eight-week summer programme, scheduled to run from June to August 2025, is designed for Emirati undergraduate students pursuing STEM disciplines. It is open to sophomores, juniors and seniors who are expected to graduate no earlier than Fall 2025.

Participants will gain practical research experience at institutions, including MBRSC, Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Sharjah, New York University Abu Dhabi, the National Space Science and Technology Center and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Under expert mentorship, students will contribute to research in key areas such as space science, human health in space and engineering. To prepare for the programme, selected candidates will first attend the REU Knowledge Camp, which will introduce them to research themes and their assigned mentors.

Interested candidates are encouraged to submit their applications by 14 April 2025 through the official registration link.
