Interdisciplinary Research & Capacity Building Programs

GEH LAB offers a unique summer research and capacity building programs for graduate students and professionals. There are 3 phases to our research internships:

1. Preparation (e.g. research development, pre-departure training, logistics and travel planning); 

2. Field Training, 3 weeks in selected country (e.g., engaging with local professors, teaching, research);

3. Dissemination (e.g.  presentations to local and international stakeholders).

Dates: 3 weeks between late June - early August (TBD)

These summer research programs are designed to build capacity for our local partners at universities in selected countries and build the capacity of all participants. If you participate fully in the research opportunity and writing activities of this program, GEH LAB can help you submit your work for presentation and publication, and build your CV. The program encompasses much more than the weeks we spend in the field as the projects and collaborations are ongoing. Although it is not required, all of our past participants in research internships have worked with GEH LAB for at least 6 months.

You can earn academic credits by participating in our programs (additional tuition fees may apply). Please contact us for more details. 

Students from the following universities have participated in the summer programs in the past: 

Emory University, Georgia State University, Maastricht University, Northern Illinois University, University of Miami, University of Southern California, University of Victoria, Yale University,  and local universities in Indonesia and Myanmar
