RISE - Worldwide Internships and Scholarships
Research Internships Worldwide - Research Internships in Science and Engineering (RISE)
This call for applications takes place on an annual basis, from August the application deadlines in the summer/fall for a stay in the following summer are online on the DAAD website.
Through the RISE program, young, ambitious students from the natural sciences, life sciences and engineering have the opportunity to work with researchers around the world who want to include German students in their working group to provide practical support for their project. Bachelor's students can apply. We recommend RISE stays in the 3rd BSc year. The internships should take place during the lecture free period and usually last between one and a half and three months.
The DAAD supports the research stays with scholarships to help successful participants cover their living costs. Further information can be found on the DAAD website and in the individual projects.
Make sure that you negotiate a suitable period with the supervisor abroad on your own responsibility (see mobility window). The start dates of projects published on the portal are not always convenient for your degree program and your personal study progress. You should either plan your stay during the lecture-free period or take the summer semester off and take a leave of absence.
Application deadlines: The RISE applicant database is open every year from the beginning of November to mid-December. In 2023, the deadline is December 8, 2023 (extended!), letter of references can be uploaded to the DAAD portal until Dec 15, 2023 After registering, you can view the internship offers listed worldwide (there are currently over 120 offers in the field of Computer Science) and apply directly online for up to three offers.
NB: Projects in Canada are published in the Mitacs database from the beginning of August to mid-September. Mitacs is the DAAD's new Canadian cooperation partner.
