<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial">The German Academic
Exchange Service (DAAD) will again offer the<b> RISE (Research
Internships in Science and Engineering)</b> at German universities and
research institutes<b> for undergrads</b>, and<b> RISE
professional internships for seniors and graduate students</b> in
German companies. Scholarships are awarded to American and
Canadian undergraduates (RISE) and graduate students (RISE
professional) in the sciences and engineering.</font></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite> </blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial"><b>RISE</b> 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 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.<b> Online registration and the internship database for RISE
both open on December 8th.</b></font></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite> </blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial"><b>RISE
professional</b> is designed for recent graduates, Master's and PhD
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 1.5 to 6 months. Similar
to RISE, this new program features a scholarship to cover living
expenses. Online registration is currently available, but the<b>
internship database will open on November 1st</b>.</font></blockquote>
