What will tomorrow’s energy supply look like—and what aspects of it are already a reality in Jena today? The City of Jena’s exhibition “ENERGY—WHAT MOVES US” provides answers to these and other questions about the energy transition.

This is how we determine in the microbiology lab which bacteria, viruses, or parasites are responsible for an infection.

We offer guided tours, hands-on activities, and interesting exhibits.

We provide fascinating insights into the latest research in pharmaceutical technology and show how innovative materials and manufacturing processes are helping to shape the medicine of tomorrow.

Glass research and manufacturing, preform production, fiber drawing, fiber post-processing, characterization, and fiber applications—the Leibniz-IPHT Center of Excellence brings together the entire value chain for specialty optical fibers under one roof.

Discover how microbes from the past help us find the antibiotics of the future! At Paleo Park, we travel back thousands of years, searching fossil DNA for the blueprints of new bioactive compounds.

What might current concepts and technologies for local supply look like? During hourly lab tours, we showcase digital applications, smart store technologies, and research approaches at the Local Supply Real-World Lab.

Can you defuse the bomb? The green light is the perfect way to tell if you've wired it correctly!

The ELLIS Unit in Jena demonstrates how AI is used to investigate complex relationships in the environment, health, and technology: Why do ecosystems change? What do medical data reveal? How can energy and mobility systems be better planned?

Learn how situational assessments are created and how drone monitoring is used to record and analyze the condition of dikes, forests, and critical infrastructure.

What happens during radiation therapy? How is invisible radiation made visible? Who has the most stamina?

At the UKJ, we care not only about the health of our patients, but also about the well-being of the animals used in our experimental research

Artistically crafted specimens and easy-to-understand models convey the fundamentals of anatomy and offer fascinating insights into the body’s inner workings. The historical significance of this 200-year-old collection can be experienced, for example, through Goethe’s intermaxillary specimens.

The exhibition “Images of Science” features fascinating research images from the EAH Jena that are not only scientifically compelling but also aesthetically inspiring.

Send digital data securely using “magical” light particles, or create images out of thin air! Researchers at Fraunhofer IOF are developing state-of-the-art systems to protect our data and diagnose diseases using quantum technologies.
