November 13, 2015 New RISE Website Launches, Databases for RISE Germany and RISE Professional Opening Soon 
DAAD is pleased to announce that it will offer its internship programs again in summer 2016: RISE (Research Internships in Science and Engineering) Germany, and RISE professional. RISE has established itself as an outstanding opportunity to combine serious research with a rewarding study-abroad experience. All three programs are targeted to students from the fields of engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, earth sciences (geology) and related disciplines. RISE Germany provides undergraduates in the USA and Canada the opportunity to gain practical experience by matching them with PhD research projects in Germany. RISE professional similarly places graduate students and above in German companies in STEM fields. Participants receive a DAAD scholarship to help cover living expenses and travel costs. The RISE website was recently revamped to provide up-to-date information for prospective applicants for each of the three programs. Check out the new website here: https://www.daad.de/rise/en/. The internship databases will open on December 1, 2015 and contain detailed information on all the opportunities for students in the summer of 2016.
