RISE – Research Internships in Science and Engineering
(Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, Physics)
North American Undergraduate Students in science and engineering can gain practical experience as research assistants for PhD students in German universities for a period of 6-12 weeks during the spring/summer months. The doctoral students help integrate the undergraduates directly into the lab work and serve as personal and professional mentors. All participating students receive stipends to help cover living expenses, and the partner universities and research institutions provide housing assistance.
Undergraduates are matched for internships with PhD students in their areas of research interest.
German PhD students receive much-needed assistance with their research projects. They profit both professionally and personally from contact with the RISE students, by increasing their knowledge of the culture, lifestyle, and higher education systems in North America. The project also offers doctoral students an excellent opportunity to gain subject-specific English language knowledge.
Knowledge of the German language is not a requirement for North American undergraduates to participate in the program.
