This U.S.-Hungarian International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) project supports undergraduate students' research visits to Budapest, Hungary, for an immersive collaboration with Hungarian mentors and students. With overall direction by the Principal Investigator, Dr. Timothy Peelen of Lebanon Valley College, twelve U.S. students from the mid-Atlantic region, work in laboratories at Eötvös Loránd University guided by two lead Hungarian mentors, Drs. Zoltán Novák and Péter Kele. Prior to departure, all students prepare for their eight week research experience abroad during a two week orientation at Lebanon Valley College to learn about Hungarian culture and language, and for instruction in concepts and techniques related to fundamental applications of light energy, spanning organometallic and bioorthogonal chemistry. In Budapest, students work in the Novák and Kele laboratories on a cluster of activities centered around the theme of applications of light energy. While designed around this unifying theme, specific projects allow participants to pursue individual interests in the areas of inorganic, organic, photophysical, and biological chemistry. Each of the IRES undergraduate participants also gains experience with the application of chemical tools that can be used to manipulate the photophysical properties of metal complexes and fluorogenic probes for applications in photoredox catalysis and bioorthogonal chemistry, respectively.Overall, IRES activities at Eötvös Loránd University offer a valuable early immersive research experience that will prepare the undergraduate researchers to engage productively with international colleagues as they pursue their future careers. The P.I. will reach out to serve different underrepresented groups, including a commitment to select equal numbers of male and female participants while striving to include underrepresented minorities and students with disabilities. Participation in a rigorous research project as an undergraduate has been linked to important gains such as thinking and working like a scientist and clarification of career or graduate school plans. As a capstone experience for the program, IRES students will be strongly encouraged to participate in the Undergraduate Research Symposium in the Chemical and Biological Sciencesheld each October at Unniversity of Maryland, Baltimore Campus.

美国-匈牙利学生国际研究体验 (IRES) 项目支持本科生前往匈牙利布达佩斯进行研究访问，在首席研究员、黎巴嫩谷学院蒂莫西·皮伦 (Timothy Peelen) 博士的总体指导下，与匈牙利导师和学生进行沉浸式合作。 12 名来自大西洋中部地区的美国学生在罗兰大学的实验室工作，由两位匈牙利导师 Zoltán Novák 博士指导。出发前，所有学生将在黎巴嫩谷学院为期两周的迎新活动中准备为期八周的海外研究体验，以了解匈牙利文化和语言，并接受与光能基本应用相关的概念和技术的指导，在布达佩斯，学生们在诺瓦克和凯勒实验室开展一系列围绕光能应用主题的活动，同时围绕这个统一的主题设计特定的项目，让参与者能够追求个人兴趣。无机、有机、光物理和生物化学领域的每位 IRES 本科生参与者还获得了化学工具的应用经验，这些工具可用于操纵金属配合物的光物理性质和荧光探针，用于光氧化还原催化和生物正交。总体而言，罗兰大学的 IRES 活动提供了宝贵的早期沉浸式研究经验，将使本科生研究人员在追求未来职业生涯时与国际同事进行富有成效的接触。 P.I. 将致力于为不同的代表性不足的群体提供服务，包括承诺选择同等数量的男性和女性参与者，同时努力让代表性不足的少数族裔和残疾学生参与一项严格的研究项目，这与诸如以下方面的重要成果有关。像科学家一样思考和工作，并阐明职业或研究生院计划 作为该项目的顶点体验，强烈鼓励 IRES 学生参加每年 10 月举行的化学和生物科学本科生研究研讨会。马里兰大学巴尔的摩校区。
