Policy turns inclusion into standards, data, and safer products.
It treats inclusive STEM as a policy and standards problem, tracing Frauke Hoss from product safety to the measurements that decide who research and design actually serve.

In their own words
This podcast series explores projects about inclusive research innovation (IRI) in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). IRI takes place whenever STEM scholars actively integrate the diversity of human beings in their work, contributing to inclusive processes and results. Join Dr. Claudia Werker from Delft University of Technology as she talks with colleagues across numerous disciplines about their challenges and successes engaging in IRI in STEM.

Based on 4 episodes we listened to · September 2026
Claudia Werker makes inclusive science concrete by tracing how data, design choices, workplace participation, and standards shape real outcomes.
Claudia Werker treats inclusion as a practical research question: who is represented in the data, who participates in designing technology, and who benefits from the result.

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.
Human-robot interaction is treated as a practical work and inclusion problem, not just a technology story.
The episode frames human-robot interaction as a work-design question as much as a technology story. David Ebbing moves from sensory-motor control into human-robot interaction, then broadens the focus until the real issue is how innovation holds up inside institutions, especially…
A careful episode on how real daily journeys can shape better sustainable mobility choices.
Mara Tanelli frames transport as a system shaped by social conditions, data choices, and the trips people really make. Claudia Werker traces her path from computer engineering, control and automation, and vehicle control into smart mobility, then presses on how diversity can be…
A focused review of how data, homophily, and algorithm design affect fairer decision-making.
Algorithms can shape decisions long before an outcome is visible, and this review follows how homophily and uneven representation may tilt that process.
A measured discussion of inclusive healthcare, linking cancer modeling, safety, physics, and evidence-based medicine.
Inclusive healthcare is framed as a matter of evidence, safety, and design across disciplines, with Claudia Werker speaking to Dr. Irina Grossmann about what healthcare research can learn from pressure, complexity, and practice.
A careful look at how inclusive STEM depends on what data is collected, minimized, and justified.
Claudia Werker speaks with two TU Delft data stewards about inclusive STEM, and the focus stays on data collection, analysis, and the rules that govern both.
Missing data is shown as a real care problem, not an abstract one.
This segment treats inclusive health care for women as a practical failure of data and follow-through. Hanneke Takkenberg argues that when women are missing from the evidence base, the consequences are concrete: dosing can be off, AI tools can be built around men instead of…
