On Monday 18^th July we welcomed our summer interns to STOR-i. The welcome day included an introduction to life as a STOR-i intern along with fun ice breaker and team building activities.

As part of its mission, STOR-i offers an opportunity for UK undergraduates to undertake 6-week research internships. The internships have been developed to give motivated students an opportunity to gain an experience of research alongside like-minded peers. The internships also allow students to develop their team work, communication and problem solving skills through a variety of activities including collaborative group work taught courses and a problem solving day.

This year nine interns have joined STOR-i from Universities across the UK including Durham University, University of Edinburgh, University of Glasgow, Lancaster University, University College London, University of Manchester, Oxford University and the University of York. Over the summer the interns will complete research projects with the support and supervision of first year STOR-i PhD students and research students and staff from the Department of Management Science and the Department Mathematics and Statistics.
