>The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) will again offer the 
>RISE (Research Internships in Science and Engineering) at German 
>universities and research institutes for undergrads, and RISE 
>professional internships for seniors and graduate students in German 
>companies. Scholarships are awarded to American and Canadian 
>undergraduates (RISE) and graduate students (RISE professional) in 
>the sciences and engineering.
>
>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 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 8th.
>
>RISE professional 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 
>internship database will open on November 1st.
