Benefits of RISE
Indian Participants:
Researchers engaged in the fields of Science
and Engineering can receive assistance in their research projects from
German interns having academic training in the fields of biology, chemistry,
physics, earth science, engineering, or a closely related field.
Academic
Institutions can gain an excellent opportunity to establish academic partnerships with German
Universities and HES or to intensify
already existing ties and networks.
Postdoctoral
students can benefit by developing inter-personnel skills and by learning how to be a mentor to
young students.
German Interns: German
undergraduate students in Science and
Engineering can gain exposure and practical experience in advanced
research work in their respective fields. It offers them opportunities to
develop and enhance their inter-cultural and language skills and forge
long-lasting association with the
mentors, colleagues and other interns.

Application Procedure
The
application submission process is online. Kindly visit the website www.daad.de/rise-programs where
Indian researchers can
submit their project offer (including a one-page project description) in
the database which opens in October. The deadline to enter the
project offer is November.
After
DAAD approves an offer, it will be published in the intern database on this
website. This database is accessible to anyone who is interested in applying and has registered
online.
German
applicants can register online to review the project offers.
They
may apply for up to three projects, in between December and January.
The
profiles of German applicants are checked for eligibility by DAAD and then are
activated to be reviewed online by researchers.
The
prospective hosts are then asked to provide DAAD with a list ranking the most
qualified applicants after a thorough quality assessment.
On
the basis of the ranking lists, the academic credentials of the students and
the demand for the project, DAAD makes its final decisions, notifies successful
hosts and awards scholarships in March.
Please note:
Only those students whose applications have been accepted, reviewed and
ranked by a potential host are placed with
the host’s project. DAAD does
its best to account for both the
preferences of the students and of the hosts. However, there is no guarantee that in every
case a project provider will be matched with his or her top applicant.
