Online registration and the internship databases for the German Academic Exchange Service's RISE and RISE professional programs both opened on December 6th. The application deadline is January 31, 2012.

RISE (Research Internships in Science and Engineering) and RISE professional have established themselves as outstanding opportunities to combine serious research with a rewarding study abroad experience. The programs are targeted to students from the fields of engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, earth sciences (geology), and related disciplines.

RISE undergrads have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge research projects at top research institutions (e.g., Max-Planck-Institutes) and universities in Germany. Students are paired with German Ph.D. students in a unique mentoring partnership to ensure immediate integration into hands-on lab work and a built-in social network with an excellent opportunity to develop new technical skills. RISE participants receive a scholarship to cover living expenses. To learn more about RISE, please visit: www.daad.de/rise/en or email: rise@daad.de.

RISE professional is designed for recent graduates, master's, and Ph.D. students, and alumni of the RISE program who are matched with a well-known German company, where they gain insight into the professional applications of science and engineering and develop practical skills.

Internships can last from one-and-a-half to six months. Similar to RISE, this program features a scholarship to cover living expenses. To learn more about RISE professional, please visit:
