Cooperative International Science and Engineering Internships (CISEI) Summer Internship

The CISEI Summer Internship places UC undergraduate science and engineering majors in 10-week summer research internships at international partner institutions. Interns are individually matched with mentors and conduct research at host centers in Eindhoven (Netherlands), Okinawa (Japan), and Gothenburg (Sweden). The program aims to provide first-hand experience in scientific investigation within collaborative research environments and the experience of living abroad. The 2026 program runs from 2026-06-15 to 2026-08-23.

10-week international research placement, individual mentor matching, housing, travel and living expenses covered.

Open to science or engineering undergraduate students who will be enrolled as third- or fourth-year students in Fall 2026, are US citizens or permanent residents, hold enrollment at a University of California campus, and have a passport valid through September 2026 or an expedited passport application submitted at time of application.
