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

Cellular recycling takes on diabetic foot ulcers + test

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.

What can herders from 10 000 years ago teach us about climate change? + test

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.

Aircraft emissions start on the ground: how digital twins make aircraft parts last longer + test

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.

6. Taking the plunge
People who have not yet embarked on the road to learning a foreign language, may feel concerned or afraid, like looking at the sea when they do not know how to swim.But studying a language is a little like learning to swim, surprisingly straightforward once you have taken the first plunge.
3. Get your document into shape
If your outline includes a summary, begin with that: you may find it is enough! Put it at the begin­ning because that is the first (and sometimes the only) part that people will read.
4. Youth mobility
Youth Exchanges help young people acquire important skills such as project management and teamwork. Such opportunities outside the school environment enable groups of young people to undertake a structured programme of activities (e.g. a mix of workshops, exercises, debates and role plays) in another country within or outside the EU for up to 21 days.
Answers to interview questions
Prepare well for the range of questions that might be covered. Most questions are likely to focus on your experience, skills and motivation. Persuade your interviewers that you are very motivated to get the job. Tell them about how your strengths and interests match those that the employer is seeking. Answer questions fully but concisely. Speak only about facts that may be of interest to the employer. Be polite, honest and professional. Never lie.
