Additional Application Required for Research Assistantships

The Research Assistantship application can be found in DIS Student Registration. For a summer opportunity, in addition to finalizing your application to DIS, you must submit all research application requirements by:

March 15
(by 23:59, Central European Standard Time)

As part of your Research Assistantship application, we ask you to describe, in short essays:

How you meet the project prerequisites
Your motivation for becoming a Research Assistant

We encourage you to allow enough time to prepare your application.

Note

Some U.S. colleges and universities may require their students who are participating in research while in Stockholm or Copenhagen to acquire further Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval. In these cases, IBR applications must be completed before beginning research in Sweden or Denmark. Examples for this are:

When human subjects are involved, no matter where the research is conducted
If the results of any research conducted in Sweden or Denmark are to be made public or published in the U.S.

DIS students are responsible for checking whether home IRB-approval is required before their time abroad, and for seeking the approval of their home schools’ IRB. Read more about IRBs.

GDPR Guidelines

When participating in research at DIS, depending on the kind of research, there may be ethical guidelines for you to follow that are specific to the country of research (Denmark or Sweden), including compliance with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It is your responsibility to be aware of any relevant guidelines and to respect them throughout your participation in the research. Read more about Ethics and GDPR Guidelines.
