RISE

PREPARING THE NEXT GENERATION OF GLOBAL SCIENTISTS
Good research relies on cooperation, and international teamwork is becoming increasingly important. Scientists and engineers with international experience are increasingly sought after in both business and academia. The number of international opportunities for research and study in the sciences and engineering is still far too small. Because of this DAAD and IIE are working with interested partners to create unique opportunities for students and young professionals, to prepare them to work and lead in science and technology careers, and enhance the science and technology professions in both countries.

This page provides more information on new models in Science and Technology Exchange. At a recent press briefing, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the Institute of International Education (IIE) discussed trends in scientific and technical educational exchange and training, highlighting new and successful models.

  • The latest educational exchange data and study abroad figures for science and technology

    • CASE STUDY: DAAD's RISE Program - Research Internships in Science and Engineering
      • Unique model gives North American students in the fields of Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, Geology and Physics the chance to spend a summer working with German doctoral students on serious research projects. The doctoral students help integrate the undergraduate directly into the lab work and serve as personal and professional mentors.

      • Findings of a new evaluation of RISE and RISE Pro, including feedback from U.S. and Canadian undergraduate students, young professionals and German graduate-level mentors

    • Other new programs such as Whitaker Scholarships and Fellowships in Biomedical Engineering; NSF-sponsored Central Europe Summer Research Institute (CESRI)
