A prize for our Zootopique podcast!

Zootopique, the ANSES podcast with a focus on the future, has won a Grand Prix Stratégies award for communication in the field of healthcare. Set up in partnership with The Conversation and Moustic Studio, the series took silver in the "podcast” category.

Launched on the first anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic in spring 2021, Zootopique takes listeners on a journey into the future to look at the links between human and animal health. Featuring insights from researchers, each episode shows how the science of today helps us to plan for the risks of tomorrow.
