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.

7. As easy as A, B, C ...
Many people are put off learning a language because they have the impres­sion that it will take them a lifetime to learn all the words and grammar.However, evidence suggests that, with the right approach and motivation,most people can pick up at least a basic command of a foreign language.
9. Beware of false friends, jargon and abbreviations
False friends (or faux amis) are pairs of words in two languages that look similar, but differ in mean­ing.
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.
Preparing for an interview
Interview culture is as varied as the number of companies and organisations on the market. Find out as much as possible about the process in advance. Do you need to take documents, prepare a presentation or undertake psychometric, practical or other tests as part of the interview? How long will the process take and who are you likely to meet?
