Get involved, tinker, and uncover the secrets of airflow.

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.

We're opening the Makerspace (a student workshop) and the microaircraft lab: exciting exhibits, live demos, and hands-on activities centered on microaircraft, sensor technology, and flight tests.

Deep in the Amazon rainforest stands an observation tower as tall as the Eiffel Tower in Paris. In our lobby, you can climb a model of the Amazon Tall Tower Observatory and learn about the research project at the same time.

What impact do solar storms have on our technical infrastructure? How can small satellites be assembled more efficiently in the future? And how will smart greenhouse systems ensure the supply of future missions to the Moon and Mars?

In their natural environment, all insects—including pests that attack our crops—have natural predators. We take advantage of this for biological pest control in our greenhouse and largely avoid using insecticides.

Join our international team and take part in research on the latest technologies.

How is brain age determined using an MRI scan, how does lifestyle influence it, and what does this have to do with the menopause?

From the labs to the streets and into the production hall: Our “Light and Mobility” exhibition showcases technologies that will make the cars and production processes of the future more functional and safer.

How safe are toasters and laser pointers, and how is a real object turned into a 3D model? In the hands-on lab at ZEISS Quality Assurance, you’ll become a tester and experience measurement and testing technology up close.

Why do corals, tonic water, and paper bills glow? Discover the fascinating world of fluorescence in the Fluorescence Lab—with exciting experiments, glowing natural substances, and applications in everyday life, technology, and modern research.

How do bones, cartilage, and muscles enable movement? Explore the musculoskeletal system: stain specimens, test your knowledge, and learn about modern implants—exciting for all age groups

witelo and Imaginata are visiting JEDI to showcase their favorite experiments: Together with the JenaWirtschaft team and students from the Carl-Zeiss-Gymnasium, we invite you to experiment, marvel, and join in the fun.

How do data and models help us make evidence-based decisions to protect the environment and public health? Using an interactive example, we’ll show what’s important when expanding monitoring networks to track environmental pollution more reliably.
