The Europe Center, with support of the Stanford Club of Germany, is sponsoring graduate research visits and internships with German companies and research institutes in the summer of 2020. The objective of this program is to provide opportunities for Stanford graduate students to spend 8-12 weeks in Germany pursuing internships or performing research such as lab exchanges and collaborative research at local institutions.

• Students may identify their target institutions based on their curricular expertise and career goals; the program staff provides support in locating potential host sites and in negotiating arrangements.
• Applicants are encouraged to consider the full range of potential placement sites, from startups to established industry players and research institutions.
• Exact start and end dates to be determined by the host and student.
