DETAILS ABOUT THE SUMMER PROGRAM
-
The CIS Summer Research Camp is a two-week long program that offers in-person research experience with professors from the world’s most renowned universities. Students collaborate in research groups of five and work closely with the professor and academic instructors to accomplish research tasks.

The goal is for students to develop a research thesis, complete data collection, and work out a draft research paper. Students continue to work on their research paper after the program with helps and feedback from our teaching assistants, academic writing instructors, and journal editors.

The program generally runs between July and August on university campuses, across US, UK, Singapore, and China. It is divided into lectures, workshops and research discussion sessions, accompanied by professors' office hours and teaching assistants' academic support sessions.
Empowering Young Researchers Worldwide
The 2024 CIS Summer Research Program concluded successfully, marking another milestone in nurturing young research scholars. The program is structured into two comprehensive modules, beginning with a 15-week series of online research lectures aimed at equipping students with essential research skills. Delivered through the NeoSchool platform by university professors and their teaching assistants, the online research lectures attracted more than 38,000 participants. Following this, a rigorous selection process chose 6,500 students (15% selection rate) to advance to the hands-on summer research module.
In the hands-on research module, students engaged in a two-week, fully immersive summer research camp held at six prestigious university campuses around the world, including Cambridge, New York, Singapore, Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. Under the close mentorship of professors, our students applied their theoretical knowledge to real-world academic projects, culminating in a rewarding experience for all participants. The CIS Summer Research Program continues to foster the next generation of innovative scholars aroudn the world.
