    Quality Education in Austria: Theory versus reality (with Teach For Austria)

    Can you imagine an astrophysicist teaching a class full of disadvantaged children in the 15th district in Vienna? A good life and quality educational for all - that's what SDG 4 demands and that's what Teach For Austria has been fighting for over the past ten years. In this episode we discussed the educational system in Austria and the gap between rich and poor with Toni Kronke, chief program officer and deputy CEO at Teach For Austria. As part of the Fellow Program, the NGO recruits top graduates from very different fields and sends them into the most difficult schools in Austria to provide these socioeconomically disadvantaged children with quality education. Learn more about the hurdles of educational equity in Austria, the impact a fellow can have and why we are all responsible for the education of the next generation!

    En-ROADS: How climate simulation works

    On the occasion of todays global climate strike, we discussed climate mitigation policies and the takeaways from our workshop with Climate Interactive. In January, oikos Vienna participated in a climate workshop in which we worked with the EN-Roads simulation model developed by Climate Interactive and MIT.  As part of a simulated UN climate emergency summit, we developed climate policy measures to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees by 2100, as outlined in the Paris climate agreement.

    Marketing for the climate - Why communication makes a difference

    For a long time, marketeers told stories about products and consumerism to yield profits for international business. How can marketeers use their skills to tell stories that help us to solve the climate crisis? Jan Valendin is a research and teaching associate at the Institute for marketing and customer analysis at WU Vienna. Intrigued by the idea to make an impact in his immediate surroundings he decided to create the university course "Marketing for the climate" and the action group "CO2mustGO". Jan is convinced that marketeers can educate the public about climate change and so he creates impactful projects with his students - from a campaign for meatless mondays to an online jobboard for sustainable jobs.  An interview with Jan Valendin, PhD; Hosted and edited by Marlena Niedl

    Thesis Talk: Climate change changing lives of women - a look at African households

    How are women disproportionally affected by climate change? A look at African households let Marcus understand that climate change has already very clear effects on the bargaining power of women. The work they are typically in charge with becomes more and more expensive and difficult and, thereby, power asymmetries more present. But what Marcus learned goes far beyond African women, and has important implications for our lives. His research is an illuminating example of how looking at climate change through the lense of feminist and institutional economics can help us understand its effects and our role even better.  Hosted by Melina Matzawrakos, edited by Marlena Niedl

    Thesis Talk: Plastic reduction communication of supermarkets around the world

    In today’s episode of Thesis Talk, we welcome Georg, former Bachelor and Master student at the Vienna University of Economics and Business. In his exchange semester in Chile he noticed the difference in the perception of and discussion around plastic use in supermarkets. How much plastic bags and packaging a supermarket can sell or give out depends on the national law, but also influences their communication to consumers. How do supermarkets cover plastic reduction in their advertisement and outside communication? What can Austria learn from Spain and Chile? And what can we as consumers do?
