About

Mitacs has partnered with the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), to support the mobility of students from Canadian universities to German universities and institutions.

The RISE-Globalink Research Internship (RISE-GRI) is a competitive initiative that offers undergraduate students at Canadian universities in the fields of biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, earth science, and physics the opportunity to participate in a research project supervised by a doctoral student at a German university or institution.

The call for applications will be opened from October 15, 2026 to November 30, 2026 (11:59 pm CET – Central European Time). Applications must be submitted through the RISE Germany portal on the program website. Projects should last approximately three months (and at least 10 weeks) and must begin between May 15 and July 15, 2027.

Benefits

  • Mitacs provides $7,000 to support the student’s travel costs and living expenses.
  • The DAAD provides health, accident, and liability insurance.
  • The DAAD provides logistical support to selected students (including assistance finding accommodation in cooperation with mentors at the host institution, information on visas and work permits, and research arrangements).

Funding

  • Eligible Canadian applicants to the RISE Germany program will automatically be considered for Mitacs funding.
  • Each approved award recipient will receive $7,000 from Mitacs. The award will support the student’s travel and accommodation costs, based on a 12-week research internship. Mitacs funding is provided in lieu of the monthly stipend and international travel subsidy from the DAAD.
  • The award also includes health insurance as well as accident and personal liability insurance, issued directly through the DAAD insurance office.
  • No funds will be released if the completed International Pre-Departure Form and/or Mitacs Student Code of Conduct and Ethics forms are outstanding.
  • Mitacs recognizes that awarded funding may not be sufficient to cover all costs associated with travel for research projects abroad. Applicants are encouraged to seek funding from other sources and use prudence when allocating funds to travel and accommodations.
