Traces.Dreams

Working for a wiser tomorrow More than a video-podcast. Dreaming a shared future. Researchers' stories beyond borders. Together we can make the future better.

We believe in the transformational power of stories and we are sure that if we tell each other what we are working towards, it will be the first step to it becoming a reality. Join the community and share the journey. Traces.Dreams is a place on the web for people interested in the past, passionate about the present and curious about the future. We interview researchers from different disciplines

and countries to get their perspective on their work, views on life, their “whys”, motivation and their wishes. We try to find out how they trace their past lives to the present, and how their research helps to make sense of the world as it is now and how it will in the future.

Is becoming a luxury?

🗯️A new report from the European Commission says that fake news has changed. We are now living in a world where a massive system creates and spreads false stories for profit and power.

🌎This is not a single secret plot. Instead, it is a mix of computer programs, politicians and social media companies working to make from our emotions. Their aim is to make us doubt everything so we can no longer agree on what is real.

⚙️The world turns through the labour of 3.5 billion people, yet on 1 May 2026, International Workers’ Day, the gap between effort and justice has grown deeper than ever. Statistics show that two billion workers live without any safety net.

The goal of development is to improve the quality of life for everyone. In fact, development is directly linked to equality; sustainable progress in a society struggling with discrimination and class divides seems practically impossible.

When opportunities, resources, and fundamental rights are distributed unfairly, the potential of a large portion of the workforce is ignored and the very foundations of social progress are undermined.

1 May and International Workers’ Day give us an opportunity to strive for this equality.

🗃️We spend a third of our lives working, so why treat satisfaction like a luxury we can’t afford?

It is a waste of potential to just survive when we should be in environments that actually let us grow.
