[engg-enci-l at mailman.ucalgary.ca]

_*The application deadline is January 31, 2008 (receipt date)*_

Dear students,

 

The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is pleased to announce that 
for summer 2008 they 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 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 receive a 
scholarship to cover living expenses. RISE interns are not only exposed 
to advanced research but 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 for RISE both open on 
December 6th.

 

RISE professional is designed for recent graduates, Master's and PhD 
students, and alumni of the RISE program who are matched 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 is currently available, but the internship database will 
open on November 1^st .

 

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 <mailto:rise at daad.de> 
and rise-pro at daad.de <mailto:rise-pro at daad.de> respectively.
