The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) has announced that for summer 2010 it will again offer the RISE (Research Internships in Science and Engineering) and RISE professional programs. Scholarships are awarded to American and Canadian undergraduates (RISE) and graduate students (RISE professional) in the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, earth sciences (geology), and engineering. RISE is an opportunity to combine serious research with a rewarding study abroad experience.
RISE undergrads have the opportunity to work on cutting edge research projects at top research institutions (e.g., Max-Planck-Institutes) and universities in Germany. Students are paired with German PhD students in a unique mentoring partnership to ensure immediate integration into hands on lab work and built-in social network with an excellent opportunity to develop new technical skills. RISE participants receive a scholarship to cover living expenses.
RISE professional is designed for recent graduates, Master’s and PhD students, and alumni of the RISE program who are matched with a well-known German company, where they gain insight into the professional applications of science and engineering and develop practical skills. Internships can last from six weeks to 6 months. Similar to RISE, this program features a scholarship to cover living expenses.
To find out about eligibility and the application process, as well as to read reports from past participants, please visit: www.daad.de/rise and www.daad.de/rise-pro. Please note students may only apply for one of the two programs and not for both at the same time. Please email all queries about RISE and RISE professional to: rise-at-daad.de and rise-pro-at-daad.de respectively.
