The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) supports the three-month summer research internships with scholarships that are funded by the Federal Foreign Office and through collaborations with the relevant institutions. A total of 300 scholarships are available each year.
The students must have completed at least the second year of their undergraduate course at a North American, British, or Irish university and must have supported doctoral researchers in their experimental work.
