The lecture takes the audience on a brief journey through the chemistry of glass

How can research be carried out without animal testing? We’ll show you how new research models, no bigger than a fingernail, can replicate complex organs such as the gut, liver and lungs, and how they are used in infection research.

What holds the world together at its very core? To use ores, water, and energy resources sustainably over the long term, we need to understand exactly that. What is the Earth made of, and how was it formed? What processes take place within and on its surface? How do we know this?

How are high-precision components made from modern materials? See firsthand how 5-axis CNC machines are used to manufacture complex free-form optical surfaces with the highest precision and to finish ceramic-printed watch components.

Meet our lab heroes: Iris, SELMA, FeliX, and Spencer

The enchanted forest, the big bad wolf, the wicked witch, the gingerbread house—we all have images from fairy tales in our minds. But where do these ideas come from? And what happens when we retell them?

Insects are by far the most species-rich class of animals. They inhabit the most unusual habitats. But what makes them so successful? We introduce the subjects of our research and discuss their lifestyles and their contribution to science.

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.

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?

Photo Exhibition: Climate Research Above the Tree Tops

What is chromatography? And what do a rainbow and a chocolate lentil have to do with it?

The heart is the engine of life—we'll show you how to keep it running on your own and how we can help you do that.

Take part in a stress-reduction program, learn about the process of scientific studies, and discover how data leads to new insights.

How does taste develop? Fascinating experiments show how smell, sight, and taste work together to shape our perceptions and food choices. Relatable, surprising, and eye-opening—for more mindful eating.

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.
