Graduate Research and Internship Program in Germany, Summer 2027

The Europe Center, with support of the Stanford Club of Germany, sponsors summer research visits and internships with German companies and research institutions. Selected graduate students spend 8-12 weeks in Germany pursuing projects such as lab exchanges, artists-in-residence, and collaborative research.

• Students identify target institutions based on curricular expertise and career goals; GRIP provides support in negotiating hosting arrangements.
• While not required, priority is given to students who have identified an internship/research host prior to applying.
• Applicants are encouraged to consider the full range of potential hosts, from startups to established industry players to research institutions.
• GRIP is wholly student driven and requires a substantial time commitment throughout the entire academic year. Students meet regularly with TEC staff during Winter and Spring quarters as they work to secure the hosting agreement and make other necessary arrangements for their Summer quarter in Germany.
• Exact start and end dates are determined by the host and student.
• Grants of $8000-$9,000 (prorated by length of travel) are awarded with each internship/research visit.
• Awardees are required to submit a three-page report of their experience within two weeks of their return.
