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.

A semester abroad, a traineeship after graduation or a free train pass at 18 – here is what Erasmus+ offers and how to apply.
Where is it easiest to find a job, how much is the minimum wage and what do you do in your first weeks? Key figures and practical tips for every EU country, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland and the UK.

Where to look, your rights without a work permit, CV and interview, recognition of diplomas, contract and insurance, internships – and how to spot a job scam.
Road trip, Erasmus or a summer job abroad? Before you set off: these rules change from country to country.

ID card or passport, the new EES border checks, passenger rights, free roaming, the euro and the EHIC card – ten short guides for your next trip.
Driving abroad? Check where you need a vignette, where you pay at toll booths and where the motorway is free – click a country for the details.
Each list shows kilometres of slopes, the number of lifts and the altitude; the resort page breaks the slopes down by difficulty and the lifts by type. Data from the skiresort.info catalogue and the resorts’ websites – as of 22 October 2026.
New articles every week about EU-funded research projects, written for students. Every article ends with a short quiz – check what you remember.

Peatlands and coastal lagoons cover only a small corner of Europe, yet they store carbon, help regulate floods, purify water and support rich biodiversity. For decades, however, they have been drained and polluted. A new report from the BioAgora project suggests how to assess, monitor and restore them, and argues that counting species is not enough, because what really matters is how a wetland works — and at the end you can check whether you look at nature like an attentive field researcher.

Up close, a developing retina looks like a crowded railway station: nerve cells set off all at once, pass each other, turn back and choose surprising routes. And yet the result is a precisely layered tissue. For six and a half years, Caren Norden’s team watched this process in transparent zebrafish embryos and found that neurons follow signals from their neighbours, while some of their moves protect the maturing tissue – and at the end you can check how you find your own way in creative chaos.

Tiny iron oxide particles can imitate natural enzymes and, on top of that, they obey a magnet. It sounds like the recipe for a miracle catalyst, but the road from an impressive lab result to safe use is a long one. A European team stopped multiplying new particles and took a close look at their surface instead. The conclusion goes beyond materials science: the strongest reaction is not always the best one — and at the end you can check whether you, too, know how to find the golden mean.
