Visiting Students

The Visiting Students programme enables students pursuing a degree in physics at an international institution to visit Perimeter Institute to continue their research under the supervision of a Perimeter Institute researcher. Visits provide desk space at Perimeter Institute and opportunities to participate in the institute's research activities. Short-term accommodation is available in a Perimeter Institute apartment for up to 30 days at a charge of $30 CAD per day. Visitors are expected to pursue research relevant to their home institution graduate degree program and provide a report of work done at Perimeter Institute.
