Planning to study abroad? Start with the country, not the university. For each of 35 countries we have gathered what you would otherwise look for on a dozen different websites: what the universities are like, how admission works, what studying and living cost, where to look for scholarships and whether you can work while you study. With links to official sources.

New articles every week about EU-funded research projects, written for students. Every article ends with a short quiz – check what you remember.

Diabetic foot ulcers affect about a quarter of the more than 800 million people with diabetes worldwide. Today they are mostly cleaned and dressed, which means treating the symptoms. The EU-funded APTADEGRAD project takes a different route: its compounds remove excess inflammatory proteins from the wound by recruiting the natural recycling system inside our cells – and at the end you can check whether you have a head for biotechnology.

Heat, drought and shrinking water supplies are not just problems of our time. Herders in the Levant faced similar challenges more than 10 000 years ago. The EU-funded ICARHUS project set out to learn how they managed their herds, using a method that reads proteins preserved in ancient animal remains. It turns out that the age and sex of goats and sheep can say a lot about the climate of the past – and at the end you can find out whether there is a Stone Age herder in you.

Aviation’s environmental impact is not only about emissions in the air but also about waste: retired aircraft, expired materials and disposed parts. The EU-funded GENEX project looked for ways to make aircraft components last longer. The team combined recyclable composites, sensors feeding a digital twin and digitally assisted repairs – and at the end, you can check how well you look after your own things.
