The International Computer Science Institute (ICSI) is soliciting
applications for their student summer internship program in Europe.
The program is open to advanced graduate students in computer
science at American universities.
Applicants don't need to be U.S. citizens OR
permanent residents of the U.S. to be eligible for the
program. The selection process is soley based on merit
and works roughly as follows: an application is submited
to ICSI where an initial selection takes place.
ICSI does not have special application forms for the summer
internship program. A cover letter stating the applicants intentions,
transcripts, and one or two letters of recommendation is sufficient.
It would also be very helpful if the applicant could provide a short
proposal stating what he/she is interested in and the particular
fields he/she would want to work in.
The selected applications will be forwarded to those
participating research labs that best match
the applicants scientific interest and background.
Depending on the applicants interest, background, and
research proposal her/his application might be
send to several of the research labs. It is the
research labs that make the final decision.
At this point the only sponsor nations are Germany, Italy and Switzerland.
However, Italy and Switzerland have just recently joined the circle of sponsor
nations and don't have a summer internship program set up yet. It seems unlikely
that they will be participating in this year's summer internship program.
So, at this point there are only opportunities within GERMAN
research labs and it is the individual research lab
that will provide the financial support (except for a
travel allowance which will be provided by the International
Computer Science Institute). Financial support is
approximately DM 3000 per month for 3-4 month and up to $1500
in travel funds.
Submit applications including at least one letter of recommendation,
a list of completed course work, and a statement of intent to:

Important: ICSI is only a clearinghouse for summer internship
applications. ICSI is not able to answer question concerning
specific research activities within participating research labs.
In the past summer interns have been working in such areas as
computer vision, expert systems, knowledge representation, natural
language processing, software engineering, software tool development,
etc..
