Description
The RISE-Globalink Research Internship is a competitive initiative run by Mitacs in partnership with the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). It supports research mobility from Canadian universities to German universities and research institutions through DAAD’s RISE Germany program. Students undertake projects supervised by doctoral students in biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, earth science, physics, or closely related fields.
Internships last at least 10 weeks, ideally approximately three months. Mitacs supports travel and living expenses, while DAAD provides insurance and logistical assistance. This includes help finding accommodation with host-institution mentors, information on visas and work permits, and research arrangements. The working language is English, and German language skills are not required.
