Contact: [email protected]

What is RISE? A program for Undergrads

Research Internships in Science and Engineering 8-12 weeks in summer Web-based matching processUndergrads work directly with German doctoral students at top labs across the countryNo German required but DAAD supports intensive language courses prior to the start of the internship Scholarships and housing assistance provided306 interns placed in 2011Next deadline: January 31, 2012

And Thats What Happened

RISE 2011 In 2011 the RISE Internship Database contained 687 Research Internships including:

197 Biology Projects91 Chemistry Projects 249 Engineering Projects127 Physics Projects23 Earth Science Projects

What Students SayLiving and performing research in Germany was a life changing experience for me. There is no better way to learn about yourself and grow than living alone in a foreign country. Rebecca Getman, U Berlin, Organic Chemistry

Youre probably asking yourself: Should I apply to the RISE program? Yes, you should definitely apply to the RISE program. I enjoyed my experience in and out of the lab. Stephen Brunner, U Hamburg, Physics

More than 100 reports from past participants on ourwebsite www.daad.de/rise-programs

The Next Step For Interested StudentsGo to www.daad.de/rise-programsContact [email protected] applications accepted from December 6th, 2011 until January 31st, 2012

RISE professionalRISE professional participants in 2010 are saying:My decision to apply to the RISE Professional program has to be one of the best I have ever made. Coming to work for a German companyhas given me the opportunity to develop professionally and at the same time flourish personally through meeting new people. (Ryan Thaner, Rice University, internship with Henkel in Duesseldorf)I know that in this increasingly global economy, international experience and cultural mastery are at a premium. The DAAD professional scholarship was the perfect way for me to attain these highly desirable skills and begin my career advancement in one of the worlds strongest, most dynamic economies.
