Why do undernutrition and obesity go hand in hand in Ethiopia? + test

In Ethiopia, undernutrition persists while overweight and obesity are rising, especially among women in cities. For years the main response was nutrition education. The EU-supported TAMMIE project handed cameras to women themselves and combined their experiences with policy analysis. It found that money and time, rather than knowledge, stand in the way of healthy diets — and at the end you can check whether you see why this is a problem for the whole system.

Can an algorithm spot dementia risk before symptoms appear? + test

More than 10 million Europeans live with mild cognitive impairment, and about half of them will develop dementia within five years. Yet clinicians still lack an affordable way to tell who is most at risk. The EU-funded AI-Mind project brought EEG recordings, blood biomarkers and cognitive assessments together in an AI-based decision-support system — and at the end you can check whether you caught the key details of the story.

How satellites help the power grid keep pace with sun and wind + test

Sunshine and wind do not follow the schedules of electricity users: when the weather changes, so does the amount of power flowing into the grid. The EU-funded RESPONDENT project set out to reduce this uncertainty by combining data from Europe’s Copernicus and Galileo space programmes with readings from local weather stations, and put its platform to the test in Greece and Spain — and at the end you can check how well you understand the link between satellites and the grid.

4. The language of opportunity
Learning a new language - like learning music - requires some effort but is enor­mously rewarding, and the journey can be as enjoyable as the arrival, as anyone who has embarked on this road can tell you.
4. KISS: Keep It Short and Simple
The value of a document does not increase the longer it gets. Your readers will not respect you more because you have written 20 pages instead of 10, especially when they realise that you could have written what you wanted to say in 10. They may well resent you for taking more of their time than necessary.
3. Mobility in vocational education and training (VET)
Mobility abroad can help young people in vocational education and training to gain the skills needed for today's competitive employment market.
