Make an Offer for a DAAD Rise Internship

If you want to host an Intern next summer through the DAAD RISE program, the window to advertise such a vacancy is open.

PhD students at German Universities can host an intern from North America or Great Britain for 3 months through the RISE Germany Program: https://www.daad.de/rise/de/rise-germany/praktikum-anbieten/ Deadline: 15th November 2015

German companies or research institutes can host an North American interns for 3 months through the RISE Professional Program: https://www.daad.de/rise/de/rise-professional/ Deadline: 30th November 2015

Companies and research institutes must contribute 500€ per month to the scholarship. The intern gets at least 650€ per month.

DAAD covers a lot of the bureaucracy concerning visas, work permits, health insurance etc. There is even some support for German courses.

I hosted several interns through this program and had only positive experiences. The only drawback is that the maximum length of the internship has been reduced to 3 months since the minimum wage was introduced. Foreign students something take longer to settle into their internship.
