Von Menschen und Tieren — Prix Média und Prix Média Newcomer 2022
Was lehrt uns der Blick nach Afrika für die nächste Pandemie? Und welche Rolle spielte die Neurochirurgie in der Psychiatrie? Diesen Fragen sind die beiden prämierten WissenschaftsjournalistInnenteams in ihren Bewerbungen für den Prix Média nachgegangen. Die multimediale Reportage und die Podcast-Folge überzeugten die Jury gleichermassen, so dass der Prix Média für Wissenschaftsjournalismus dieses Jahr zum zweiten Mal in Folge zwei Mal vergeben wurde. Den Prix Média Newcomer gewinnt ein Dokumentarfilm über Fischfossilien im Libanon.

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.
