"Einfach Forschung": A research podcast by Ostfalia

Since September 2024, you have been able to gain exciting insights into the world of research through the 'Einfach Forschung' podcast. Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences has launched Einfach Forschung, a podcast that makes science come alive. Every two weeks, scientists discuss their current projects, share their enthusiasm for their work and demonstrate how their research influences our daily lives.

Whether the topic is digitalisation, sustainable mobility, or social innovations, Einfach Forschung gets to the heart of complex issues in an accessible way, showing how research is advancing our society. The focus is on concrete applications and fascinating insights into Ostfalia's research fields, rather than complex theories.

The podcast is hosted by Prof. Dr. Heinz-Dieter Quack, Vice President for Research, Development and Technology Transfer.
