View source for Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme (UROP)

The development and maintenance of the UROP programme has been a major Crucible initiative since 2002. Initially based on the UROP programme at MIT, and developed by [[David Good]] within the education programme of the [[Cambridge-MIT Institute]], the programme has since been maintained with funding from the Newton Trust, and from EPSRC (coordinated by [[Alan Blackwell]])
