Podcast: New Year's resolutions, winter holidays, 3D printing

00:36 - Welcome/Topic introduction

01:00 – Optimism and Confidence – Germans' Goals for the New Year: New Year's resolutions are a popular tradition in Germany – but what do Germans intend to do in 2023? We investigated this in our year-end survey and came across some positive results. Almost three-quarters of respondents resolved to think and act more optimistically. But why do Germans yearn for more confidence, and what other goals do they have for the new year?

9:20 AM – Winter vacation: Skiing vacation – yes or no? Is traditional winter tourism a thing of the past? We received this press inquiry from Austria a few days ago. How popular are vacations in the cold season actually, and where do Germans tend to go in winter: to the snow-covered mountains or more often to the sunny sandy beach?

8:50 PM – The Future of 3D Printing: Finally, in our topic of the week, we discuss the future of 3D printing. For over 30 years, this technology has been used to manufacture small parts and other everyday objects. But what about food or even human organs? How far has this technology come today – and how far should it be allowed to go?

30:20 - What comes, what stays, what goes?

Look forward to another exciting episode full of insights into our research. We look forward to seeing you and wish you all a Happy New Year 2023!
