Humboldt Internship Program – Call for Projects 2027

Submission form for researchers and start-up founders to offer an internship placement within the Humboldt Internship Program 2027.

Call for Projects – Humboldt Internship Program (HIP) 2027
 

Thank you for your interest in hosting a HIP intern next summer.
This survey will be used to publish your placement on our project list, where international students can browse and apply.
 

Deadline: October 05, 2026.
 

If you'd like to offer more than one distinct project or position, please submit a separate entry for each one; this makes it easier for students to find and compare specific placements.
For general background on the program (eligibility, full timeline, benefits, and scholarships), please see the HIP Info Sheet.
 

If you have any questions, please contact the program coordinator, Amrei Vogel (amrei.vogel@hu-berlin.de).

 

There are 19 questions in this survey.
Contact and Institution
Please provide a brief overview of the research project or start-up.

Institution / Department / Start-Up

Default value: Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (Start-ups: Humboldt Innovation)

Please add your specific institute, department, chair, or start-up name (e.g., "Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Institute of Biology" or "Humboldt Innovation – [Start-up name]").

Name of Primary Project Supervisor

Please provide the name of the lead researcher or the start-up founder. 

 

Email Address of Primary Project Supervisor

Additional Contact Person(s) / Student Mentor(s)

If other people will work directly with the intern (e.g., postdocs, team leads, co-founders), please list their name(s) and email address(es) here.

Project Description

Subject Area(s) / Working Field(s)

Select all fields that apply to the internship. You can specify the selected field in the respective comment box. This helps students find your project when browsing by interest.

Project/ Placement Title

This is the title students will see on the website. Make it descriptive and appealing (e.g., "Data Analysis for Climate Impact Modeling" rather than just "Internship")

Webpage URL
Link to your lab, department, or start-up website, if available.

General Description of the Research Project / Start-Up
 

Briefly introduce your project or start-up – its mission, focus, and current stage – so students understand the bigger picture they'd be contributing to. Eight to ten sentences are usually enough.

Description of the Internship Position / Expected Working Fields and Tasks


Describe what the intern would be doing. If the exact tasks for Summer 2027 aren't defined yet – completely normal, especially for start-ups and evolving research projects – describe the general working field(s) and the type of activities you expect (e.g., data analysis, literature research, product development, user testing, event organization). You can agree on concrete day-to-day tasks with your selected intern closer to the start date.

Ideal Candidate

Requirements for Interns: Skills & Qualities

What knowledge, skills, or personal qualities should the ideal candidate bring? Consider both technical/academic skills (e.g., a programming language, a statistical method, familiarity with a research area) and personal qualities (e.g., independence, communication, creativity, adaptability). If you're not yet sure about specific tasks, focus here on describing the kind of person who would be a great fit – this is often more helpful to applicants than a fixed task list.

Expected Preparation

Is there anything the intern should prepare, read, or learn before starting (e.g., an online course, key literature, specific software)? Leave blank if not applicable.

Required Academic Level
Select all levels you'd consider for this position.
Language(s) of the Internship
English is required for all HIP placements. Add further languages only if genuinely needed for the role – this can otherwise limit your applicant pool unnecessarily.
Availability and Location

Availability 2027

Check all terms during which you could host an intern. Please offer at least one Summer Term.

We are currently developing customized timeframes in cooperation with specific partner universities. If you are generally open to hosting students within this framework, please check the box "Open to other timeframes". We will contact you as soon as we have confirmed dates.

Number of Placements

How many interns could you host in total for Summer 2027 (across all terms checked above)? If more than one, please clarify whether they'd work in parallel or in different terms.

Comment on Availability

Optional — use this space to clarify timing flexibility, multiple placements, or any scheduling constraints.

Can the internship take place in person in Berlin?

Internships should generally take place in person in Berlin, and you must provide students with a dedicated workspace. An online option can be considered only for last-minute, unavoidable changes (e.g., illness, visa delay) — not as the default format.

If not fully in-person, please explain. Briefly describe the circumstances and what alternative arrangement you could offer.

Exact Address of the Workplace

This address will not be published on the website – it's shared only with admitted students so they can prepare (e.g., plan their commute, inform their family).

Final Comments
Use this space for anything not covered above — e.g., special onboarding arrangements, equipment the intern should bring, or questions for the HIP office.
