Launching EELISA 2.0 Podcast Series: Voices That Move Us Forward

In an era defined by rapid change and deep uncertainty, knowledge is no longer just a resource—it is a lifeline. When shared openly, it becomes the compass that helps us navigate complexity and drive meaningful action. In this spirit, EELISA takes a step forward, deepening its commitment to accessible, inclusive communication by returning to one of the most compelling and far-reaching formats of our time: the podcast. A space where ideas come alive, voices connect across borders, and knowledge becomes a shared experience for all.
