During his secondment at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), Bernard John Tiika, Professor at the University for Development Studies (UDS) in Tamale, Ghana, recorded a podcast episode as part of the renowned “Vagó de la Ciència” series.
Bernard joined a conversation with Prof. Pilar Orero and Dr. Estel·la Oncins from the TransMedia Catalonia research group, discussing digital accessibility, inclusion, and the role of emerging technologies in ensuring equal access to information. The discussion highlighted how artificial intelligence and automated technologies can support accessibility, aligning directly with the research themes of the ClearClimate project, under which Bernard was visiting UAB.
This podcast episode is an excellent example of how collaboration between European institutions and researchers from the Global South fosters knowledge exchange and advances inclusive digital innovation.
