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.
