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.

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.

Solar cells have a weak spot: the stronger the sunshine, the hotter they get, and hot cells lose efficiency. The EU-funded NANOSPLIT project found a way around it – hybrid nanofluids made of zinc oxide sheets and gold nanoparticles that work as intelligent light filters. Part of the sunlight is turned into electricity, while the rest becomes useful heat for hot water or space heating – and at the end, you can check how you use energy yourself.

Wind turbines, electric vehicles and mobile phones share a hidden ingredient: magnets made with rare earth elements. Yet less than 1 % of REE magnets in Europe are currently recycled. The EU-funded REEPRODUCE project is testing how to take them out of end-of-life products, such as electric scooter wheels, and turn them into new metals in a way that makes economic sense – and at the end, you can check what you do with your own old electronics.
