host institutions

Host institutions are organizations, such as universities, research centers, or businesses, that provide a venue, resources, and support for individuals or groups undertaking specific projects, research, or activities. They serve as the primary base of operations, offering facilities, mentorship, and an environment conducive to learning, development, or innovation. In programs like research exchanges or internships, the host institution facilitates the experience and helps participants achieve their goals by integrating them into their existing ecosystem. Essentially, it is the organization that “hosts” and supports individuals during their time there.
