The DAAD RISE programs
International cooperation is becoming an increasingly important success factor for research around the world. As a result, scientists and engineers with international experience are increasingly sought after in both the academic and business fields. This is why DAAD has created a number of exciting Research Internships in Science and Engineering (RISE) for students on both sides of the Atlantic who are interested in gaining research and work experience in an international setting.
All RISE programs are directed at highly motivated students in the fields of biology, chemistry, engineering, earth sciences, and physics. German skills are not always required; DAAD's RISE and RISE professional programs will be offered again in summer 2015. Click here for further information on RISE and RISE Professional.
In addition, RISE Worldwide is continuing this year. German students in the early stages of their studies will be matched with researchers worldwide who wish to engage in a meaningful cooperation with a young German scholar. These German interns receive a DAAD scholarship to help cover living expenses and travel costs. Research groups interested in hosting a German research assistant in the summer of 2015 are invited to participate in RISE Worldwide and to submit project proposals at: www.daad.de/rise-weltweit/en.
Engineers Welcome!"German Engineering" is a brand name of its own in the international marketplace - and one that many students are increasingly proud to highlight on their resumes. German universities offer many opportunities for international students to gain first-hand insight into German Engineering, regardless of their level of German. Options include the Research Internships in Science and Engineering (RISE), summer courses on topics ranging from Nanotechnology to Sustainable Energy in German or English, and the opportunity to pursue a Master's degree in Engineering in Germany.
