 DAAD - German Academic Exchange Service and Mitacs will present a  webinar on funding programs in Germany during 2025 for students in the Natural Sciences and Engineering on Monday, November 4th from 2 - 3 pm EST (11 am - noon PST).

Attendees will get details on the RISE-Globalink Research Internship program, offered by DAAD and Mitacs, which gives Bachelor students from Canadian universities the chance to complete a 10-12 week summer research internship in the lab of a German doctoral student.

Graduate-level students will hear about DAAD's RISE Professional, a program offering Master's and Doctoral level students the chance to carry out an internship in a German workplace of anywhere between 10 weeks and 6 months.

This year's application deadline for both RISE programs is November 30, 2024, so don't miss out on this opportunity to make an internship in Germany part of your Canadian degree experience.

In addition to the RISE programs, the presentation will also include information on Mitacs and DAAD grant programs in support of graduate student research in Germany.

This webinar is open to students at all stages (Bachelor, Master's, PhD) in study programs related to the natural sciences and engineering.
