Call for Project Proposals for RISE worldwide 2015

interested in hosting a German research assistant in the summer of 2015 are invited to submit project offers to RISE worldwide.

How does RISE worldwide work?

In this program research groups, laboratories and doctoral students can apply to host a motivated and well-qualified student from Germany. The German intern will assist in research and lab work for the proposed

and travel costs.

Internships are essential to gain relevant work and research experience. Gaining that work experience in an international setting allows students to add another language to their resume and it encourages growth beyond the working environment.
In this webinar, DAAD joins forces with UAS7 and Cultural Vistas to talk about internship opportunities in Germany. The presenters introduce their internships and speak about the application process. This webinar offers information on internships for all fields and for students with various levels of German, including no prior German knowledge.
