Summary
Undergraduate research differs by country, being embedded in distinct national systems of higher education. These systems differ structurally and, culturally, are lived differently. Part IV is devoted to the implementation of undergraduate research around the world, providing summaries from 27 countries. The structure of Part IV is aligned with geographic regions: The Americas; Africa & the Middle East; Asia & Oceania; and Europe. One trend we see worldwide is that the development of undergraduate research is being linked to the federation and establishment of excellent research at universities.
