Science communication in times of war
Together with RECET and Radio ORANGE 94.0, Eurozine is realizing its very first youth project: reaching out to young adults living in Vienna, introducing them to the professional world of researchers and media workers. In several open forums, the youth groups meet writers (in a format of their own choosing) to discuss research related to migration. With the support of Eurozine’s editors, the young adults then publish a podcast series centring around science communication and their own experiences from the project and beyond.
All project-related content will we published on this site.
“Vom Wissen der Jungen” / “Knowledgeable youth” is a science communication project funded by the City of Vienna.

Since February 2022, Ukraine’s monumentscape has become contested symbolic ground: Russian aggressors alter, destroy or steal in demonstration of self-declared cultural superiority; Ukrainian iconoclasm is also on the rise. But might multiple local cultural meanings be lost in the process?
In socialist Czechoslovakia, one of the world’s biggest arms exporters, issues of durability and demise were taken into account. Why, then, do Cold War weapons continue to resurface in deadly attacks and armed conflicts across the globe, well beyond their alleged obsolescence?
Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has revived fears of looming nuclear apocalypse. Amidst weakened institutional frameworks and the great powers’ will to preserve the status quo, the non-proliferation doctrine is under increasing pressure.
