Summer Research
General info
The Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering takes part in the Technion Summer Research Program in Science and Engineering (1–31 July 2027). Outstanding undergraduate students join a leading laboratory, carry out a research project under the personal guidance of a faculty member, and present their findings to the research group at the end of the program.
Accepted students receive a scholarship covering accommodation, health insurance, lab work, mentorship and social activities. Questions: onlinesummer@technion.ac.il.
Required background
Varies by lab and is listed with each project.
Professors & projects
Participating professors and research projects for summer 2027 will be published in early December 2026. Each listing will include the research field, the proposed project and the required background.
Materials Science and Engineering
The Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering studies how a material's structure determines its properties. Research includes porous and macromolecular materials, bio-inspired crystal growth, and thermoelectric materials for energy.
Research areas
