Interested in obtaining invaluable, career-building international 
professional experience? The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is 
again offering the RISE (Research Internships in Science and 
Engineering) program. In addition, a new RISE professional program, the 
new sister program to RISE is also offered for post-graduation industry 
internships in Germany. Scholarships are awarded to American and 
Canadian undergraduates (RISE) and graduate students (RISE professional) 
in the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, earth sciences, and 
engineering. RISE has established itself as an outstanding 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 will 
receive a scholarship to cover living expenses, and assigned PhD 
students will aid in the search for housing. Participants are not only 
exposed to advanced research but will have the rare opportunity to 
 learn about Germany from the inside as they  make new friends, 
establish professional contacts and spend weekends exploring the heart 
of Europe. Online registration and the internship database will be 
available on December 7.

RISE professional, the new sister program to RISE for recent graduates, 
Master's and PhD students, and alumni of the RISE program matches 
participants with a German company, where they gain insight into the 
professional applications of science and engineering and develop 
practical skills. Similar to RISE, this new program features a 
scholarship to cover living expenses. Online registration opened on 
November 1. The internship database will be activated on December 1.

files as well as read reports from past participants, at 
www.daad.de/rise and www.daad.de/rise-pro Please note students may only
