Programs
Shaping the future together
The lab works alongside the academic community: students claim problems and publish, faculty co-supervise and challenge us. Every program below is open to remote participants.
Student researcher placements
Join a supervised team on one of the board's open problems. Scoped to one research question, one named supervisor and one deliverable — from anywhere in the world.
See placementsMentored research sprints
A fixed 4–6 week window on a beginner or intermediate problem, designed for a first publication-grade result. Strong fit for coursework or capstone projects.
How sprints workCredit and certificates
Co-authorship on published results, a research participation certificate, and recommendation letters for outstanding contributors.
Read the detailsCo-supervised projects
Run one of the board's problems jointly with your group. The lab contributes the problem scope, its evaluation harness and review discipline — you contribute students and academic context.
Start a co-supervisionResearch grants
Fund work on a shared problem through a research grant. Existing lab infrastructure is reused rather than rebuilt, so funded time goes into the study, not the scaffolding.
See the grant routeOpen review partner
Help us pressure-test published problem gaps and results. Faculty reviewers get early access to problem drafts and datasets before they are added to the board.
