Graduate Research and Internship Program in Germany
Graduate Research & Internship Program in Germany (GRIP)
Internships & Research Visits at German Corporations and Institutions
Applications for Summer 2025 open on September 23, 2024
The Europe Center, with support of the Stanford Club of Germany, sponsors graduate research visits and internships with German companies and research institutions. 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 identify target institutions based on curricular expertise and career goals; the program provides support in locating potential host sites and in negotiating arrangements. While not required, priority will be given to students who have already identified an internship/research host.
- 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.
- Travel grants up to $9,000 are awarded by The Europe Center with each internship/research visit.
- Awardees are required to submit a three-page report of their experience within two weeks of their return.

Besides the impacts this summer had on my academic career, in terms of research results as well as academic connections, it also provided me with the opportunity to assess what it would be like to live and work in Germany after my PhD.
