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.

Found your programme? Here is what comes next: choosing the country, an Erasmus+ grant, a job abroad and travelling around Europe.
Application timelines, scholarships, visas and work rules for international students in Poland and Europe – checked against official sources.
The March 2027 round of the European Parliament’s Schuman traineeships closed on 31 October 2026. The Parliament’s published schedule shows the next chance: applications from 1 to 31 May for a five-month placement starting on 1 October. Here is who can apply, what the grant is and how the process works.
Applications for bachelor’s and master’s programmes starting in autumn 2027 are handled centrally through University Admissions in Sweden. The first admissions round opened on 16 October 2026 and closes on 15 January 2027. This guide covers the key dates, fees, entry requirements and residence permit basics.
Erasmus+ lets students at bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral level spend 2 to 12 months studying or training in another country, and recent graduates can go on a traineeship too. There is no central application: your own university selects participants and sets the deadline, so the first step is always its Erasmus+ office.
A semester abroad, a traineeship after graduation or a free train pass at 18 – here is what Erasmus+ offers and how to apply.

New articles every week about EU-funded research projects, written for students. Every article ends with a short quiz – check what you remember.
Heavy-duty vehicles account for nearly 40% of CO₂ emissions from road transport in Europe, and switching them to electric power is much harder than with an ordinary passenger car. Researchers from the EU-funded RHODaS project looked where people usually do not – at the electronics that distribute energy between the battery and the motor. They bet on new semiconductors, a modular design and tests all the way up to full scale – and at the end you can check whether you have a head for electromobility.
Around 70 percent of the energy we produce escapes straight into the atmosphere as heat. The hardest to put to use is lukewarm heat below 100°C, because recovering it usually does not pay off. The Swedish company ZIGRID says it has a way to do it, and without any turbine: a gas that rhythmically expands and contracts and, in the end, turns a generator. See how it works and where the technology is headed, and then check how much of this energy puzzle stayed in your head.
Bubble wrap is fun for a moment when you unpack a parcel, and then you are left with the problem of where to throw it. Estonian start-up RAIKU has a simple answer: a filler made from nothing but wood, with no chemicals, that can be composted. One cubic metre of raw material yields many times more packaging, and making it uses 90% fewer resources than producing paper. Here is how it works and what helped the company survive its early days – and at the end you can check how you handle packaging.
