Call for Internship Projects: Humboldt Internship Program 2026

The Humboldt Internship Program (HIP) is a key element in the internationalization of research and start-up projects at Humboldt-Universität. Survey results from this year again highlight the program’s positive impact on research teams, start-ups, and international students.

We invite HU researchers and founders to join HIP in involving international students in their projects for three months in the summer of 2026. This is a unique opportunity to bring talented young researchers and start-up enthusiasts into your projects.

What you offer

• At least one English-speaking three-month internship placement in summer 2026
• A short description of your project and placement details for our webpage
• On-site supervision of the selected international student(s) during the internship

What we do

• Publish your offer on the HIP webpage and market it internationally
• Collect applications and forward eligible candidates to you
• Support you and the students throughout the entire process
• Handle all administration and preparation with the students

Additional information

• You select the student(s) for your placement.
• Multiple projects per research group or start-up are possible (one form per project).
• You may host more than one student per project.
• HIP also supports projects based on international university partnerships. You may give preference to students from a partner university, while applications remain open to all.
