Ico Maly en Harald Benink

Listen to the science podcast about Europe

Science Quest Tineke Bennema

In Science Quest, the Tilburg University Podcast, scientists seek answers to questions about people and society that concern us all. From war to peace. From climate to your wallet, from care to organization and from big data to dating. Our own experts discuss the newest, funniest and most talked-about insights from their own research.

What has the European Union, established in 1993, brought us economically, democratically, thirty years ago? What do you personally notice about it? And why is there persistent anti-European sentiment among certain population groups, such as those calling for Nexit in the Netherlands?

We discussed this with Harald Benink, professor of banking and finance, who knows everything about Brussels' financial-economic decisions, and with Ico Maly, researcher and expert on political ideology and the far right. In the segment 'the Walk,' sociologist Inge Sieben talks about the 'European feeling.'

This podcast is only available in Dutch.
