[https://www.mccs.tohoku.ac.jp/g-rips/g-rips2025-open_en.html G-RIPS ] (Graduate-level Research in Industrial Projects for Students) Sendai Program is an international internship jointly organized by Tohoku University and IPAM (Institute for Pure & Applied Mathematics) at UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles). It is mainly designed for graduate students in mathematical sciences, where teams of four—two from the U.S. and two from Japan—tackle industry-provided problems using mathematical approaches. Over the course of approximately eight weeks, participants gain hands-on research experience and engage in cross-cultural exchange.
