Viren, Volt und Daten — Prix Média und Prix Média Newcomer 2021

Wie kommen wir aus der Corona-Pandemie heraus? Und wie stellen wir auch künftig die Stabilität des Stromnetzes sicher? Zwei Fragen, die von hoher gesellschaftlicher Relevanz sind und von den Wissenschaftsjournalisten Martin Amrein und Arian Bastani umfassend beleuchtet und verständlich dargelegt wurden. Beide überzeugten mit ihren jeweiligen Beiträgen in der «NZZ am Sonntag» respektive der «Republik» die Jury gleichermassen, so dass der Prix Média für Wissenschaftsjournalismus dieses Jahr zwei Mal vergeben wurde. Den Prix Média Newcomer gewinnt Simone Pengue für seinen Dokumentarfilm über biomedizinische Forschungsdaten.

    Dal “Trendradar” all’aula scolastica: cosa si aspetta il mondo del lavoro dalla promozione delle discipline STEM

Il “Barometro delle nuove leve MINT Svizzera 2026” delle Accademie svizzere delle scienze mostra dove queste competenze vengono sviluppate – o, al contrario, dove non lo sono. Un confronto tra i due rapporti mette in luce perché la promozione delle discipline MINT non sia solo una questione educativa, ma anche una necessità economica.

In a recent resolution, PS60+, the seniors’ organization of the Social Democratic Party, echoes key proposals put forward by the SAMS. It reinforces the discussion on health as a societal responsibility and calls, among other things, for integrated healthcare, stronger coordination by the Confederation and a clear framework for the use of health data.
