Subject: RISE and RISE professional Internships


Dear colleagues,


The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) is pleased to announce  
that for summer 2008 we will again offer the RISE (Research  
Internships in Science and Engineering) and RISE professional  
programs. Scholarships are awarded to American and Canadian  
undergraduates (RISE) and graduate students (RISE professional) in  
the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, earth sciences (geology),  
and engineering. RISE has established itself as an outstanding  
opportunity to combine serious research with a rewarding study-abroad  
experience.


RISE undergrads have the opportunity to work on cutting edge research  
projects at top research institutions (e.g., Max-Planck-Institutes)  
and universities inGermany. 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. RISE  
interns are not only exposed to advanced research but have the rare  
opportunity to  learn about Germany from the inside as they  make new  
friends, establish professional contacts and spend weekends exploring  
the heart of Europe. Online registration and the internship database  
for RISE both open on December 6th.


RISE professional is designed for recent graduates, Master's and PhD  
students, and alumni of the RISE program who are matched with a  
German company, where they gain insight into the professional  
applications of science and engineering and develop practical skills.  
Similar to RISE, this new program features a scholarship to cover  
living expenses. Online registration is currently available, but the  
internship database will open on November 1st.


To find out about eligibility and the application process as well as  
to read reports from past participants, please visit: www.daad.de/ 
rise and www.daad.de/rise-pro. Please note students may only apply  
for one of the two programs and not for both at the same time. Please  
email all queries about RISE and RISE professional to: rise at daad.de  
and rise-pro at daad.de respectively.


Kind regards,


Peter
