Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are widely discussed, yet few truly understand what they are and how they work. In this Q&A episode of Euronews Tech Talks, we answer your questions with Josep Casacuberta, a researcher at the Centre for Research in Agricultural Genomics in Barcelona and chair of the GMO panel at EFSA. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
When tackling a problem, we’re often told to step back and look at it from a different perspective. Earth observation from space does just that, providing crucial data on our planet’s biggest challenges. In this episode of Euronews Tech Talks, we explore this topic with Jean-Christophe Gros, EU Programme Coordinator at ESA. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
What is space debris? How do we manage it? Is it dangerous? Euronews Tech Talks investigates with Quentin Verspieren, Space Safety Programme Coordinator at the European Space Agency (ESA). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The Artemis program, Mars exploration, and the future of the International Space Station mark an exciting era for space. ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano joins Euronews Tech Talks to discuss these projects and Europe's role in them.Former commander of the International Space Station, Parmitano is now based in Houston, in the United States. There he works as the liaison officer between the European Astronaut Centre and the Johnson Space Centre, he answers the call: “Houston, we have a problem!” and he trains other astronauts for spacewalks.Image credits: ESA Hosted on Acast.

Although Europe possesses several lithium reserves, many European citizens and environmental groups have strongly opposed mining projects. As a result, Europe remains heavily dependent on importing lithium and lithium-ion batteries.In today’s episode, Euronews explores the debate over lithium mines in Europe, featuring insights from two experts with differing viewpoints on the issue: Lindsey Wuisan, Resource, Justice, and New Economies' Campaigner at Friends of the Earth Europe, and Peter Tom Jones, Director of the KU Leuven Institute for Sustainable Metals.
