RISE worldwide (Research Internships in Science and Engineering) promotes students' short-term stays abroad at university and research institutions worldwide. In the program, ambitious students from the natural sciences, geoscience and engineering sciences (and related disciplines) have the opportunity to collaborate on research projects.
