The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) finances the "New Kibbutz" funding programme from BMBF funds. The programme supports internships in high-tech start-up companies in Israel via the German-Israeli Chamber of Industry and Commerce. Students enrolled on a Bachelor's or Master's degree programme can apply. The internships should last from 56 days to a maximum of six months. More information:

• German-Israeli Chamber of Industry and Commerce (application for internship)
• German Academic Exchange Service (application for scholarship, benefits, conditions, etc.)

As part of the ASiiA programme, you can receive support in terms of content and organisation, including exclusively through the provision of a free visa.

Every year, students and graduates from all degree programmes are given the opportunity to complete an internship in the partner region. As an ASiiA applicant or ASiiA intern, you actively participate in the application process and the development of the ASiiA community, get to know the country and its people better and network with partners and friends across borders. You can find internships on your own or make use of the offers at the Alberta-Saxony Intercultural Internship Alliance.

As part of the RISE (Research Internships in Science and Engineering) scholarship programme worldwide, the German Academic Exchange Service arranges research internships for bachelor's and diploma students at German universities and universities of applied sciences.

Registration in the applicant database on the DAAD website at www.daad.de/rise-weltweit is possible until mid-December; the application deadline for Canada is mid-September; applications can also be submitted via another applicant database. Students can apply for a maximum of three of the internships available in the database.

Scholarship holders receive a monthly DAAD full scholarship instalment for a maximum of three months and a one-off travel allowance (both depending on the destination country).

The internship period is at least 10 weeks, the earliest start date is 1 May of the following year.
