Practical Traineeships for Foreign Students of Natural and Technical Sciences, Agriculture and Forestry (IAESTE) • DAAD

Objective

This programme aims to improve the professional and practical qualifications and intercultural skills of programme participants.

Students from non-member countries can find out about application options here: IAESTE A.s.b.l. Non Member Countries.

What can be funded?

Internships in commercial enterprises, research and higher education institutes.
(This programme is only offered in the countries where there is an IAESTE national committee. Section ST41 of the DAAD assumes the role of the German national committee of the IAESTE.)

Duration of the funding

Internships of usually two to three months are arranged, in some cases longer. The length of the internship is decided by the internship provider.

Value

Interns are usually paid 934 euros a month; all IAESTE interns (incoming) are covered by the DAAD's medical, accident and personal liability insurance. The DAAD cannot contribute towards travel expenses.

Selection

Applications must be submitted to the IAESTE committee in the country in which the students are enrolled. The responsible national IAESTE committee carries out a selection procedure on a national level and nominates the most qualified applicants. The internship provider decides which applicants to accept.
