For the past four years, we have featured conversations with experts on current research topics in the ETH podcast. At the moment the podcast is taking an indefinite break. Until we launch a new podcast format, 43 exciting episodes are available for you to listen to. The alumni podcast "We Are ETH", a podcast series featuring stories from alumni and friends of ETH Zurich moved to its own channel: https://circle.ethz.ch/podcast/ -- ETH Zurich – Where the future begins! Our university for science and technology dates back to the year 1855, when the founders of modern-day Switzerland created it as a centre of innovation and knowledge. At ETH Zurich, students discover an ideal environment for independent thinking, researchers a climate which inspires top performance. Situated in the heart of Europe, yet forging connections all over the world, ETH Zurich is pioneering effective solutions to the global challenges of today and tomorrow. ETH Zurich has an excellent reputation in scientific circles: 21 Nobel laureates have studied, taught or researched here, and ETH regularly ranks as one of the world’s top universities.

episode 8: Small steps to peace
How to mediate conflicts
Many small, local steps may lead more effectively to peace than big dreams of a perfect state. This principle lies at the heart of an innovative approach to conflict mediation developed by the late Kenyan mediator Dekha Ibrahim Abdi and ETH peace researcher Simon Mason. In this podcast, Simon Mason and Kaltuma Hassan Noorow, the mediator’s daughter, talk about their experiences in Kenya and Switzerland. They also refer to their unconditional will to work – and live – for global peace, not for hatred.
