Podcasts are a powerful medium for making science, education, and social issues engaging and accessible to a broad audience. They create space for dialogue, background knowledge, and reflection — making them an ideal way to highlight INSE’s work and contemporary approaches to education.
Below, we present three recommended podcasts that explore INSE-related topics and science education from different perspectives.
ONE WATER – Wasser ist Leben, Folge „Vom Lebensraum Wasser und wie man ihn erforscht“ (the aquatic environment and how we study it)
he podcast ONE WATER – Water Is Life, produced by ecoplus — Lower Austria’s Business Agency — and hosted by actress Ursula Strauss, is dedicated to water as a vital natural resource. It explores ecological, scientific, and social perspectives on water.

The podcast #aLOTtotalkabout is part of the LOTinContext discussion series and is hosted by Das LOT Vienna. It brings together art, science, and social issues in open, interdisciplinary dialogue.
On December 11, Laura Coulson was among the guests. As a biochemist and researcher, she bridges natural science and artistic practice. In the episode “How to Build an Artistic Ecosystem,” the speakers explore how artistic production can be inspired by living systems — with roots, networks, cycles, dependencies, and shared resources.
The episode highlights how interdisciplinary collaboration can open up new perspectives on sustainability, knowledge production, and education.
