• EP1 - France, at the cutting edge of Artificial Intelligence
    Sep 9 2024

    💻 The term is on everyone's lips. From music to sport, from finance to the legal system, on our personal computers and our mobile phones, AI is everywhere. We can even say unerringly that it is one of the issues of the century. How can we keep control over this technical goldsmithery, that is advancing at a pace that is beyond our understanding? And what does the world have to learn from the French approach to AI, the land of enlightenment, humanism and critical thinking? We put the question directly to those who have their hands in the algorithms.

  • EP2 - Is interdisciplinarity the key to ecological progress?
    Sep 10 2024

    ♻️ How can we train students to meet the environmental challenges that lie ahead? A number of French schools are beginning to lay the foundations for new courses, focusing on interdisciplinarity. New synergies between different scientific programmes, training in climate issues for students who have not been trained for this purpose... there is no longer any question of being ‘just a journalist’ or ‘just a businessman’, you need to be able to specialize in your area of defense. In this episode, we take a look at the schools that take a different approach to ecology, using one of France's most cutting-edge areas of research as an example: oceanography.

  • EP4 - When art schools reach out to refugee students
    Sep 10 2024

    📷 French art schools have a long tradition of welcoming artists in exile. In recent years, they have been no exception to this rule. All over France, teachers and universities are mobilizing their networks to welcome artists from all parts of the world, so that they can continue their artistic reflection despite the upheavals in their countries of origin. What are the experiences of refugee students at French art schools? And what is the impact on their art and the art of those who meet them?

  • EP5 - France: a factory of all-round champions
    Nov 13 2024

    🥇 Faster, higher, stronger. And suddenly, the podium. Heroes of a nation, they win their medals with sweat and tears and make the crowds dream. Then silence. What happens to our athletes at the end of their careers? For a long time, it was difficult for top sportsmen and women to change careers, apart from a few happy endings in the world of coaching or sports journalism, but the rules are changing. Former players are proving to have all the soft skills that companies are looking for. How are French schools preparing the new generation of medallists for ambitious dual careers in sport and academia? What new arrangements are possible and how are they being experienced on the ground?
