The IGREP (International Graduate Research Exchange Program) is an initiative created by Dr. Kaminski. With the financial support from UA and from the partner institutions in Germany and Spain, graduate students travel between UA and the partner institutions for several weeks or months. Each of our UA graduate students has been at least on one such research visit.
