Visitor Programs for Students, Postdocs & Scientists

 

Each year nearly 700 students, scientists, weather forecasters, and other professionals visit the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research Office of Programs (UOP). These visits vary both in purpose-workshops, summer internships, or collaboration on research-and in length-from a few days to several years. Formal programs either provide opportunities for visitors to pursue special training or research in Boulder, Colorado, or place them at designated research and educational institutions around the world. In addition to the formal programs described here, individual groups at NCAR or UOP may host visitors outside the scope of these specific programs.

MMM Scientific Visitor Program

The Visitor Program for the Mesoscale and Microscale Meteorology Division at NCAR is a vibrant and vital activity within the division. Visitors number over 400 per year.

The benefits of a vibrant visitor program are self-evident. Not only does the influx of new ideas invigorate the science, but the presence of so many from foreign countries, universities, private industry, and domestic and foreign governmental agencies stimulates the research. MMM hosts several ASP postdocs. Univerisities send students here to complete projects. As advisors, staff scientists will frequently bring students to NCAR for more hands on training.
