European Commission
The European Commission is the EU's executive body and represents the interests of Europe as a whole.
The Commission's main roles are to set objectives and priorities for action, propose legislation to Parliament and Council, manage and implement EU policies and the budget, enforce European Law (jointly with the Court of Justice) and represent the EU outside Europe (negotiating trade agreements between the EU and other countries, etc.).
StudyPortals collaborates with the European Commission in several ways by promoting and representing European higher education. The projects PhDPortal.eu and ScholarshipPortal.eu, our platforms for PhD and scholarship opportunities in Europe, and our study experience exchange platform STeXX.eu are funded by the European Commission. Besides, we are supporting the European Commission for example on fairs or with our student satisfaction report.
Nuffic
Nuffic is the Netherlands organization for international cooperation in higher education.
Nuffic's motto is Linking Knowledge Worldwide. And everything we have done since our foundation in 1952 has been driven by this mission.
Whichever way you look at it, Linking Knowledge Worldwide means bringing people together, because it is knowledge that makes us unique as people. Linking knowledge means linking people. What we love about knowledge is that you cannot give it away. You can only share it with others.
This sharing often leads to the creation of new knowledge. And so we add to the wealth of knowledge on our planet by communicating with each other and by forming networks to share it in. Nuffic is a proud exponent of Linking Knowledge Worldwide.
