This REU (June 23–August 1, 2025) is a fully funded opportunity for undergraduate students that will be held at Centro de Investigación en Matemáticas (CIMAT) in Guanajuato, Mexico. This program is organized in partnership between CIMAT and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Participants will be introduced to and conduct research in Commutative Algebra. This program is designed for students who have some familiarity with proof writing, and preference will be given to those who have taken a first course in ring theory. 

American citizens and permanent US residents will be supported with funds from the National Science Foundation (NSF), while Mexican citizens and residents in Mexico will be supported with funds from the Consejo Nacional de Humanidades, Ciencias, y Tecnologías (CONAHCYT). Participants will receive a stipend for the duration of the program and assistance with housing and travel. Selected participants will be given an opportunity to later present their work at the Joint Mathematics Meetings. 

We aim to admit 10 American students and 10 Mexican students. More information can be found on the program website:
