MHIR welcomes visiting students and scholars from around the world.
MHIR faculty scientists host students and scholars from around the world to collaborate on research projects. Interested students and scholars connect first with a faculty mentor from one of our Research Centers, and if a suitable collaboration is identified, the student or scholar will be connected with an organization that specializes in visa sponsorship for research students and scholars.
Please contact contact us for more information.
