The application deadline for internships in 2016 is September 15, 2015. For more information, please visit: www.daad.org/emgip/ Cast your vote for your favorite #MissionResponsible project! 
The #MissionResponsible Competition is part of the Alumniportal Deutschland?s focus topic ?initiate.participate.change.?, encouraging people working on social and ecological issues to share their project activities. Out of 48 submissions, jury members Iris Eisbein (Engagement Global), Robin Pass (TU Dortmund) and Robin Spaetling (chariteam) narrowed it down to eight finalists. It wasn?t an easy decision, since every project and every commitment deserves recognition. Now it is time for the wider public to get involved by voting for their favorite project by July 19th! The three projects with the highest number of votes will receive a project-related prize of 300 Euro.
